Hola from Baños!
We are all exhausted from our travels today. We left the banana farm at 1:30 am and arrived in Baños around 8:30.
The farm was amazing, as well a our wonderful host family. We had a day to help out with the process of gathering and preparing the bananas and plantains for shipping. Everything on the farm goes out to Dole, so think of us the next time you eat a Dole banana!
Connor, Ciaran, Madeleine, and I had the opportunity this week to kill, pluck, prepare, and cook a chicken from the farm. This was a very interesting experience for all of us.
For the rest of the week we had daily language classes, as well as soccer games and music in the afternoons. We are all covered in mosquito bites, sunburns, and musty damp clothes, but we are really excited to being our week in Baños with our homestay families.
Adiós!
