CRIRE 12.16.18

Today the group of CRIRE students but mostly mentors and I hikes with the Ngabe people and learned of the plants and their medicinal uses. We then came back and learned how to make threads from bromeliads leaves which is mainly a woman thing in their culture. Men and boys usually make the hats by weaving the threads. It's beginning to become a lot easier hiking up and down from the river I enjoy powerwalking back up alone. Although I will be a little winded but that passes. We found a huge spider down at the waterfall today another student and I hiked down and I decided to go with I've seen it already but he hasn't. I'm glad I went otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to see the huge spider and take photos of it.
