Day five afternoon and evening update

Today's afternoon was exceptional, but unfortunately the last afternoon in Chilamate and the Eco Retreat with Meghan and Davis. After lunch we took a twenty minute bus ride (with air conditioning) to the Tirimbina reserve and the chocolate tour. The chocolate tour showed us the history of chocolate and how it was first made by the indigenous people of Latin America.

We had chocolate powder, chocolate bars, and a chocolate drink called Cacaoagua. It was a really long walk through the primary rainforest, passing over a really long suspension bridge that crossed the river where we had rafted the day before. Kyle actually tried some chocolate and didn't perish. 

For dinner we had breaded fried fish, rice, beans, salad and the usual juices. 

Before heading back to the lodge, we played a habitat game where we learned about how many rainforest creatures are becoming endangered because they are losing their habitat. 

We also video chatted with Mr. Burns via face time. We shared about our trip and he asked us questions about it. We enjoyed seeing him and appreciate him talking to us!

We closed with Seth and Cannon leading our nightly ANCHOR, where we expressed our appreciation for all who have contributed to our awesome stay in Chilamate.
