Day 3

Hello everyone my name is Dana Salerno. Originally I am from Colordao now I reside in Omaha, NE for school. So far this has been an exciting trip. After traveling up a winding mountain road dodging crazy drivers, large "dogs", and skilled bikers we arrived safely to our new home. San Marcos has been a very welcoming town and the Earthwatch team has taken us in as part of the family. Following an afternoon of an informative overview of the field project we were welcomed to dinner at Natalia's family's home for a wonderful dinner we settled in for our first night. Today's agenda was filled with a visit to the farmers' cooperative and an introduction into the sustainabilty project that we are soon to be involved. So far this trip has proven to meet all expectations, and the impact that we will all have will stay with us for the rest of our lives.
