It was a strange sensation as Matt spent most of the day shirtless making phone calls to relatives at home. The kids went to school as usual. Cooking the bird was uneventful, besides that it happened at the neighbors house, since we have no oven. The gang of Ecovilla kids were out playing in the yard. It drizzled for about 15 minutes, a far cry from the storm in the Northeast we have heard caused travel problems.

All but Leo left the dinner table full, he has a loose tooth that I swear he superglued back in when it fell out a month ago. He can barely swallow his own spit now, afraid for it to fall out. 

After a great meal we went for a walk towards the river and saw one of the workers with a snake. He found a six feet long terciopelo snake, at our neighbors house, and killed it by throwing large rocks at it. These are highly venomous snakes that you don't want to mess with. Unfortunately we didn't have our camera with us to take a picture, but the mental image is still in my head. After that I found out that a coral snake was found near kids school and the kids were able to see it as well. Its the snake season in Costa Rica. Quite scary if you ask me. Thankful for being alive.
