Farm Life

Hola Familias!

This is a quick update from the Seeyle Farm! We are up at 9,000 feet in the Talamanca Mountains of Costa Rica about 1.5 hours south of San Jose. Internet is very spotty here, so I feel lucky to be able to connect right now! (All other attempts have failed.)

We are settling in to Costa Rican farm life here! We are caring for newborn goats, milking cows, chasing chickens, and hiking with four dogs in tow. Today we completed an AMAZING hike up to the Parimo ecosystem above tree line at 10,300 feet. In addition to the steep climb, the altitude kicked our butts! We are drinking lots of water and eating delicious rice and beans, fresh fruit, and homemade breads.

Tonight we are heading to bed early as we have a long day of travel ahead. We are taking the bus to La Fortuna in the Arenal rgion, about 5 hours north west of here. We are above the clouds here, and so the sky is full of brilliant stars! Truly beautiful.

The computer is starting to cut out, so more updates when we arrive in La Fortuna. I'll include pics next time as well.

Pura Vida,
Alice
