Chocolate, Cascades in a Canoe, and … Marco Polo!

Today we visited an aboriginal village. Where we saw many different types of fruits and plants, made chocolate, and ate one nifty meal.

The chocolate making process is extremely interesting because of how the aboriginals have configured the process. It is actually quite simple.

In order to get to the aboriginal village, we had to take a canoe to the village. It was a very fun and crazy ride in the river that divides the Republic of Panama and the republic of Costa Rica.

And Marco Polo. during our free time at the hotel, we have played many games of Marco Polo in the pool. We have even convinced the “adults” to join in on the fun. We have also created many variations that have made the game even better!

Well since I have even picked up on some Spanish while down here, I would like to say…

 

ADIOS!!!
