We spent the day exploring Gallon Jug, including Sylvestre Village, where the locals who work the farm and hotel live, and the beautiful lake Laguna Verde. We found canoes but no paddles – so improvised in true Brooksian spirit! You'll be happy to know we saw no crocs this year...
We also saw the coffee plantation and visited the coffee processing plant, where we enjoyed the aroma of barrels of dark roasted beans and nibbled some dried cacao nuts – confirming that both taste better with sugar!!
In the afternoon the first group of riders headed off for a 1.5-hour jungle ride, and, for the first time in the 5 years we’ve done this, saw a JAGUAR along the way! Woo-hoo! This blogger is incredibly jealous!
Tonight, homemade emapanadas courtesy of Sylvia, then a treat from the real world – Jackie, a transplanted Texan whose husband Zander Bowen runs this operation, invited those addicts in the crowd to watch Lost at her house nearby.
Tomorrow is our day to take over the Gallon Jug Community School – we’ve been preparing for a few weeks and are very excited!!
