Today was our first day back at work since we left for England. We arrived back 3 weeks ago, but Costa Rica was affected badly by Hurricane Edward. We had crazy rains and lots of flooding. This left us with lots of clean up on the farm after the storm passed. Chris and Alonzo with the help of William spent the whole day cleaning up at the waterfall. Today it looked great when i arrived up there and they had even built a cool bridge over the stream with the tree that fell down!! Recycling at it's best!

Thank god nothing was too major and many were much worst off with us. Now it is all over and the sun is shining and Costa Rica is back to it beautiful self. The farm looked stunning today, everything is SO green and fresh. Loved seeing all the changes that mother nature had imposed. There is going to be tons of new growth know too. Julia was pointing out that so many seeds will have been knocked down by the rains so seeing what pops up!

Today was an amazing day, we watched monkeys running on the ground along side the river and playing on some of the fallen trees that came down with the rains. They were having a blast. Just above their heads were two toucans and flying past two macaws.  I sound like I am making it up, but honestly it was breathtaking. I wish I had my camera with me!

All the horses are doing great and are very fat from their vacation! Alonzo and Giesele did such a great job caring for them whilst we were away.

Other good news is that Trevor is getting a new home!! He is one of our rescue dogs and he is wonderful, i really hope it works out well.
