Amanda: It was super cool! There were lots of cool animals; four parrots, a small emiu, two huge, black dogs,two other small dogs, some chickens and some cows. Me and Kayla both got to feed a calf! There was a pool, a swing, lots of room and a nice garden. Some path ways are neerby so on the weekend we went on a trail up the hill to see some wildlife. When mom, Kayla and I came back down, dad wanted to stay and keep walking for a bit. So dad continued and we went back down. Later on we went for a short walk to the river. It was such a fun weekend! On Sunday afternoon we packed, me and Kayla said good bye to all the animals and we left. the trip back felt alot shorter than the way there. It was good to get home but, we mised the farm!
Heather: The hacienda used to be a coca farm. We learned about how the leaves were picked, dried, stored and shipped. Coca is grown on steep terraces, and farmers burn their fields to clear space for coca plants. There is still a lot of coca grown in the region -- some for traditional use and some for illegal export to make cocaine. Apparently there are lots of coca farmers who now can afford a vehicle... but don't have a driver's license.
Is that a beard Ray? Tee Hee!
