Friday, August 10th

This morning, we woke up and went to 7:30 breakfast. For breakfast, we ate scrambled eggs, toast, pineapple, beans and rice. Afterwards, we finished up our experiment presentations and practiced them. We went over the presentations with the science leaders so we were completely prepared to explain our experiments to the group. At 10:30, everyone presented and it took about an hour and a half to get through all of the groups. We were asked questions at the end and answered them. Everyone was excited to have finally finished the big project and get their lab notebooks signed off.

For lunch, we had garlic bread that was so good and spaghetti with red sauce. We had time after to get souvenirs from the gift shop.

Mixing concrete on the side of the road for the entrance to the Mariposario.

We left for the Mariposario around 1:40 to do community service. We split up our groups into plant gatherers, cement makers, and butterfly trap makers. In the end we were only able to create an entrance into the butterfly garden due to our lack of materials, but we all put a lot of work into making it. We talked to one of the women who created the garden to better the lives of the community and she was very grateful for our efforts. We got back around 5 and were done for the day.
