River and Duffy's Final Day at the Institute!
(Awesome Land Rover spotted! (Shoutout to Dad!))
River and Duffy had one more day left working with the institute, a day that would turn out to be on the challenging side. Thankfully, reinforcements arrived from Winthrop University who were visiting Monteverde to do community service and leadership training. The Winthrop folks started by helping form a fire line to reorganize some of the beds of plants, a tactic that proved to be very productive. Unfortunately, the students decided to opt for the less physically demanding task of filling bags while River and Duffy were left to fill wheelbarrows full of bags and move them everywhere. Today, a lot of cars and trucks came to pick up trees so River and Duffy spent the entire morning loading plants into these vehicles of all shapes and sizes, coming to satisfy their reforestation cravings. After noon, their work at Calandria was done and our heroes returned to the Monteverde Institute for lunch. After some nice conversations with Victorino, Fern, and other members of the Monteverde Institute team, River and Duffy said goodbyes and thanked their friends for having the opportunity to return to the institute once again. After work, they made a surprise visit to River's host family who was very excited to see them. Duffy was blown away when River's host dad, Toby, told them about all of the celebrities he met while working at the zip-line park, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Keylor Navas, Sergio Ramos, Shakira and Steven Spielberg. Finally, River and Duffy finished the day by checking out a restaurant that River's host family recommended. The boys are looking forward to a chill, but fun day tomorrow!
