We cruised to the highlands Monday on San Cristobal escaping the heat. Coffee bushes. papaya, tangerine,guava, coconut, yucca trees, pineapple ground plant, cacao tree. Some of the flora we saw and learned about today on our plantation tour before the service project. We dug holes for and planted coffee trees. The owners were appreciative of our contribution to forestation. We then hiked up to El Junco the only freshwater pond on the island and where Frigate birds will visit to dip briefly in the water to rid salt from their wings.
