Our month at the farm went by really fast and now we're in San Jose for a few days before heading to Panama tomorrow. We made some good friends at the farm and so it was sad to say goodbye. Luckily, our friend Rebecca who is volunteering at the farm for a year bought a plane ticket while we were there to come visit us in Argentina in December and is also planning on visiting in Guatemala in February so we'll definitely see her again soon. The hardest part of this trip is getting attached to a place and people and then always having to move on. It is sad, but I know it's worth it because many more adventures await us in South America. We're hoping to also volunteer on organic farms in Argentina and Chile and I'm curious as to how they will compare with our experience at Rancho Margot. I really loved my daily routine on the farm with the animals and I miss it. It was amazing to see how much Sukia (the baby spider monkey) changed over the course of a month. She learned how to make new sounds and started swinging on her ropes and grew a lot more confident in general.
I want to write more but tomorrow we have to get up at 4:30 to catch our bus to Panama so I should get some rest. We're going to spend the rest of the week with an idigenous group in El Teribe (Rachel did her independent study with them a few years ago) and then head to the beach next weekend.
xoxo, Katie
