After saying good-bye to the internship students, my fellow field program students and I got ready to head off to remote locations to study ecological and social issues related to monoculture and agroforestry systems of agriculture. This block was broken up into 3 one-week-long trips.
The first week trip took us to San Isidro, in the southwestern mountains of Costa Rica. We stayed close to Longo Mai with an American-born tico named Wade. His farm was like some kind of crazy garden of Eden. It was beautiful.
Then we headed to Villa Mills to stay in a lodge in the mountains. It was beautiful but oh, so cold. We didn't even feel like we were still in Costa Rica!
We went to visit schools to interview rural students.
And we got up early to go birdwatching!
