Phrase of the day: Viajes a la finca, el mejor Domingo aqui... Trips to the farm, the best Sunday here.

Lots of people seemed to be around today, so we took a trip to the family's farm, "Mono". (They call it that because there are monkeys in the trees sometimes).

As usual, the trucks were packed with anyone and everyone. There must have been over 20 of us going.
We walked around in the forest, eating crazy fruits along the way. This one was like pumpkin and mango; odd.
I was really there with the machete just making sure there weren't any snakes.

Mario found some cool little birds in one of the trees. He made sure I didn't tell anyone about them though. He seemed afraid that someone would eat them or something?
The new bridge over Rio Grande. Is that structurally sound actually??
And we finished the afternoon with a meal. I didn't really do much for the meal besides pick/carry fruit. But they were excited about the picture, so why not.
We ate rice with plantains and a peanut/tomato sauce.
