After adventure-packed days, we were ready for a recovery day. There is so much to do at the lodge, so we decided to stay home and see more of the beautiful forests. We did school in the morning. The birds were singing, the insects were buzzing, and there were no sounds of humans anywhere. At home we live by a busy road and constantly hear trucks, sirens, jets, trains, etc. At this lodge, however, we are nestled in the mountains and the only signs of life we see are animals. There are pastures of cows grazing across the valley and everything is so serene. Doing school in this environment was like a dream. Look at this photo! It's like this scene jumped out of a fairy tale! Stone chairs and a table covered with a light layer of moss in the middle of the woods. It's so dreamy!

Howler monkey. These guys are so loud! We woke up one morning to hear the moan and growls of the howler monkeys carried on the wind - it sounded like a horror film! Jade thought they sounded like the walking dead.
| Jade loves hanging up the wet laundry. We feel like we've gone back in time. Life is slower here because the daily tasks take up so much of the day! |

| It rains EVERY afternoon! But it's warm. The temperature doesn't change much, even during the night. It's absolutely perfect. We don't even sleep with a fan. |
This cool tree was so large we could climb through a hole in the roots! It was a little creepy though, because there were gigantic spiders in webs in there. We spent a while throwing bugs into their webs and watching them come out to eat them! Nature is so fun!
