Off To Los Santos!

I can't believe it's already been a week! Now we're off to our volunteer projects for two weeks. Mine is in Los Santos, this little village of only 200 people in the middle of Costa Rican jungle. We're going to be building some trail in the jungle and working in this place that makes wood that when it's burnt it doesn't emit CO2 which is awesome! Los Santos is going to be the first carbon neutral town which is massive! The wood aparently becomes charcoal which is used to stop erosion and replenish the soil. I can't wait to get there. There's the worlds 5th purest river there and it's apparently cleaner to drink that water than to drink bottled water!

There's only one phone in the whole village and no internet so I'll be completely cut off from the world for 2 weeks!

Love, Julia
