I went to bed excited for what Costa Rica has in store, but could not sleep because of the cold sweats. When morning finally came I was feeling unrested and miserable. I basically stayed in bed sick for the entire day, but I was able to pull myself out of bed to try and eat dinner, and to learn how the indigenous people make cordage. The way they make their own cordage has some similarities to the way my people make cordage, yet was quite different. I was really interested in learning this process. I really enjoyed this time spent with the group, and I bought one of the handcrafted bags from the awesome indigenous lady who taught us the techniques.
