Day 3: Digging for Ants


Hello, welcome to day 3. The authors of this blog were Erbear and Bellaboopers. 

Right after breakfast, we had class. Dr. Pinto showed us our first ant fungus excavation. Then each group got their own materials and dug up their own fungus garden. Every group was successful. Then, we had lunch. After lunch, we went zip lining. It was very exciting! There was nice hike up and a green view down. When we got on the bus, there was a small mishap. There was no power and there were 3 trees blocking the road. We decided to chillax in the bus and play a game of telephone while Pablo came to rescue us in a school bus. Nobody got hurt, and we are all okay!!!!!! After that, we visited the butterfly garden and caterpillar house. They had Blue Morpheus, and two other types of butterflies there. We got to visit the mall for the first time, which was right behind the butterfly house. It has a lot of things in a very small space. We then hiked to a local house to learn how to cook our own dinner. We made tortillas, chicken, vegetables, salad, plantain chips and ended it all with a nice ice cream cone. We got a ride back to Finca La Anita in a trolley and ended the night by transferring our ant colonies to larger bins. Then we went to bed J
