Pancakes, Spaghetti, and Chicken

It was an American morning in Costa Rica.  We awoke to the smell of pancakes and sausages sizzlin' on the griddle.  After Davis ate enough to feed the whole village, we began the science portion of our day.  We finally got out of the planning stage and began testing our hypotheses in the field.  Following a few "ant"-tense hours of data collection, we broke for lunch.  We moseyed on over to Italy for a steaming plate of spaghetti, and toast from our home state (Texas).  After Davis accidentally ate the plate as well, our day continued.  With Pablo as our guide,  we toured our home village, visiting the school, and learning the history of La Colonia de Libertad.  Pablo then led us to the base of a local women's organization, whose garden we helped to weed.  Afterward we were treated to some homemade coconut ice-cream, which was eaten out of a ziplock bag. Que rico.  Following that, as if we hadn't already eaten enough that day, our next stop was a store filled with both foreign and familiar sweets.  We proceeded to purchase our weight in food.  Weighed down with our prizes, we made our way back "home" for a short break.  When we woke up/extracted ourselves from our books, it was time again to venture out.  It was time to go hunting.  Well not really, or at all actually, but food was involved! We were invited to dinner at the home of a local family, where we were fed caribbean style chicken, salad, and warm rice pudding for desert.  Afterwards, we puzzled our way through several riddles.
