Sitting here in Carara you can really appreciate the beauty of Costa Rica as the lush rain forest provides shade from the beating sun. We now have the strange feeling of a roof above our heads as we are staying in Casa Verde, the rangers station.

| Our home - Casa Verde |
Having been here for 4 days we're getting settled in and beginning to bond even more as a team through group activities, quizzes, card games and working together (rather than in separate shifts as we did in Playa Hermosa in our work with the turtles).
We've been perfecting the third trail system alongside one of the leading rangers Oscar. At the sprightly age of 56, Oscar is there for us 100% working and sweating with us, as well as bringing us coke on the rocks and bananas. He's told us many things about this wonderful place that is our home, the great trees and insects, the scarlet macaws and even the endlessly fascinating jungle cats.
We've gravelled and laid the big stones for about 50m so far and we have a lot more to do. We
wake up each morning excited for the day ahead and as we put down the
fingers for the days to come we realise how every day is special and we
make the most of it even more.
