After a welcomed rest, our day began with a beautiful sunrise at CATIE. Several took an early morning walk to experience the wildlife and beauty of the grounds. Most of us were awakened by the early morning unfamiliar songs of birds.

Breakfast in the CATIE cafeteria included fresh fruit plate including papaya, pineapple and watermelon, beans and rice seasoned with cilantro, scrambled eggs, pancakes with syrup, crusty white bread, fruit juices and fantastic coffee.
