Last Field Day!! We finished collecting the last of our data at "the headwaters" which was really down stream a ways but as far as we could go. The stream bed consisted of mostly bedrock which was awesome to see because in theory thats what we should expect. We brought two of the Ngobe visitor on our hike today as we did the first day and they are so knowledgable about their land. We stopped many times learning about the different plants and there medicinal uses. On our way back we split from the group and swam in the pools of the Java river. After the long hike it was amazing, the clay stones were so soft on the bottoms of our feet. The clay stones are so interesting as they can be broken down simply by your fingers.
This evening we had some free time to just roam the gardens taking in all the vegetation and birds. After dinner we did a cultural exchange where a man shared a traditional story, a young woman sang a traditional song with the most amazing voice. The two men from SKC shared how to play stick game with everyone and we ended the night with a round dance.
