Week 2 at Sarapiqui

---

By the way the Spanish way to say the name of the River and area is sarapiKEE. I was pronouncing it incorrectly all last week. D'oh.

I think I'll just upload a bunch of pix and put in some captions.

Well that took about an hour with interruptions. Just discovered I'm on for lunch tomorrow with Lee another volunteer, from Georgia.

Dashing to the bus, stayed late an extra hour tonight.

I arrived at the Centre last Thurs to find Gerardo raking up a bunch of fallen leaves, wearing my gardening gloves (being put to good use!) He showed me a little treasure which had been curled up beside a potted plant. Perhaps you can see his head.

Monday Summer Prog
A couple of the people who were to be helping with the summer camp didn't show up today, so we were recruited from our normal duties to help out
