Got Milk?

Even after almost 3 weeks here, I still haven't completely adjusted to being a "morning person" and after yesterday's adventure with the sheep we all had a little trouble getting up for 5:30 breakfast.  After a short trip down the road, we arrived at Super "M" Farms [at the ungodly hour of 6:45] to milk cows.  It was really cool seeing the set-up of the facility considering everything was built out of wood instead of metal.






After milking and giving ivermectin to the herd, we castrated the ADORABLE bull calf who loved sucking on hands [and anything else he could get his mouth on].







Since we were practically up early enough to see the sunrise, we finished working with the cows quickly and got to take another leisurely trip into San Ignacio to grab food at the Taco Shack [again] and shop for souvenirs.  Somehow we convinced Dr. Emma to take us to Sweet Ting [we had to twist her arm REALLY HARD *end sarcasm*] where I added Rocky Road and Mexican Chocolate Cake to my growing list of things that will one day give me diabetes. 







After a quick lecture at 2:30, we had the rest of the day off [most of us spent it sleeping].  We had chilli for dinner and Serina asked for milk to drink on the side [we both share a common love for the beverage].  Unfortunately, the milk was powdered and tasted like muddy water [not cool].  Tomorrow I''m looking forward to going horseback riding through the jungle considering its been almost a year since I've been on a horse    -_-

Cheers!
