Dia 5 - EARTH University

In the morning we visited a pig and dairy farm that this university maintains on campus. It was very interesting to see its students with different senior projects explaining to us what it was all about. We also visited the banana plantation where we had a great tour and they explained the whole process. EARTH also makes paper out of banana leaves. We went to the paper manufacturing plant and received a tour.
In the afternoon all of the teachers gathered together and had a great time together analyzing our tour. Then we had free time and got ready for our departure the next day early in the morning.

Daniel, I even bought a notebook made out of banana leave to show it to you! Right now we are by the Arenal Volcano, an active volcano. Mr. P

Yes!!! We were touring the forest and walking through hanging bridges listening to the monkey howling when suddently the tour guide stopped us and told us to listen carefully because the volcano was rumbling. Mr. P
