hola chicos!
Well, we've graduated from farm school! Our last week was good - the boss was away so everyone slacked off a bit hahaha. Shaina had a fun and challenging time as a teacher (not looking like my next career path!). For our last day, we got to go horse back riding to the only virgin forest in the community, and saw some howler monkeys. It was Marsh's first time on a horse! it was a great way to end our stay at the farm. We stopped to talk to the lady who makes all the ceramic plates and bowls for the farm and compared techniques. It was sad to leave the farm and say bye to everyone but we're excited to be back on the road!
Shaina with Taz (AKA Hector) - the newest addition to the farm
A culebrero - the Finca Rio Muchacho bird - it grooms its tail feathers to look like this
Shaina a little nervous getting on her horse
Marsh riding like a pro through the river

Yesterday (Saturday) we had a long travel day. We left the farm at 7:30am and went through Bahia to Guayaquil to Cuenca in 14 hours!
We'll be in Cuenca for a couple days and then heading south to Vilcabamba before crossing the border into Peru. We'll post something before crossing.
Ciao!
