Can{t quite get the hang of using a keyboard again!! The new BriBri village was great. Got water to the centre of the village. At the fiesta last night we found out that not only have we provided the school and village with potable water but we have saved the school because the ministry of health was going to close it because of its poor water supply. So everybody at Soki was delighted with our efforts and gave us a good send off with lots of ChiCha.


We are now in P Viejo, having just taken the stuents to Manzanillo to see the coral reef. Inti found a great lodge for us quite cheap because the recession has really hit tourism here (in CR generally) and may places are closing down. The students are out trying to find somewhere for tonights meal. They have been advised to go to Lydias as this is the best place for careabean food. Lets hope they dont choose pizza this time when they can get red snaper cooked milk and ginger.


 


Tomorrow at about 1pm we set off for the turtle project so will be out of touch again for about a week.
