Livin' it up on the beach (when it's not raining)

Hola all,
Our life on the coast has been moving along. We finished the trail up to a beautiful ridge, and planted some little trees and bushes to create a natural fence so when children go up there they don't fall hundreds of feet to their deaths. The work has slowed down a bit, it is very hard to work on the trail when it is raining a lot, and it has been. About every other day it pours all morning until lunch. We have been brainstorming ideas about the interpretive trail, stations to set up, certain trees, insects, or ecological concepts to highlight. We swim in the ocean each day, and read and play cribbage in our hammocks. We have been eating a lot of rice and veggies, and tiny fish caught in the river right next to us. Plantains are the potato of Ecuador, we eat tons of em. We have been thinking of the next step and it seems that after this next week we will head back up into the highlands to work and play in Mindo for a week, before we leave Biomindo and head back to Quito for a few days.
