Hi everyone! The last couple of days have been really busy. Yesterday we took our first fieldtrip. We did not go to Monteverde as I thought, but we went ziplining through the canopy, and then to el Rio Tarcoles to search for crocodiles. We saw several huge ones (and our guide fed one) along with many tropical birds. It was a lot of fun, and the scenery was beautiful.

Today is the celebration of San Ramon. The last week and a half of the fiesta has been leading up to today, so it was very exciting. The city of San Ramon is divided into many districts, and each district has its own saint. This morning, each district brought a statue of its saint in a parade to the church before a service this afternoon. There were about 100 statues, and each was decorated with flowers. They were beautiful. The inside of the church was also decorated with many flowers. There were thousands of people around the church, along with Mariachi bands and dancers. I'm really glad I got to be here for this celebration!
