There is rain in the rainforest. Word.
All morning it poured here at the lodge. We continued to work despite the weather in the village. Eventually, the sun did come out but the work conditions remained very muddy.










In the afternoon, we had a traditional cooking lesson. As expected, one of the foods we prepared was yuca. Yuca is a food staple here (similar to a potato in texture) and we have eaten it with every meal so far.
Let's see...there's yuca potatoes, yuca soup,  yuca fries, yuca honey desert, yuca chips, yuca pancakes, and just plain yuca. Yuca seems to be a constant - more yuka to come.

In the cooking session some people also ate grub (live). I personally didn't try it, but for the people who did, grub was eaten by biting the head of the bug first, chewing, then swallowing.
