Corcovado

Life is rolling along at this point. I have had a ton of fellow Peace Corps volunteers come through my site in the past weeks on their way to Corcovado National park which I myself had the pleasure to hike last Tuesday with Deivin and 3 of my Peace Corps friends. We saw all 4 types of monkeys (3 at the same time), a sloth, a tapir which is a really crazy looking animal, wild hogs, mountain chickens and a weird type of wild turkey, frogs, snakes, and lots and lots of birds. It was a really hard hike but very worth it. We hiked 8 hours through the rain forest (which is hot, but there is no direct sun so not too hot) to arrive at the Sirena ranger station and then we stayed there for 2 nights and headed out. It was a great jump start to getting myself motivated to get back into shape and it was a great adventure.

My next project is just for me and it's getting back into shape! I have a wedding dress to shop for when I get home and I want to be ready.

In February and March we held clinics and in February fixed 13 animals and in March 14. We are going to hold Aprils clinic in Jimenez.

We are still waiting to hear on the visa, hopefully soon...

I'll try to post more.
