The first thing that we did today was take a hike up to the Carambola Gardens.
There we were shown the different spices that we use every day, such as sage, oregano, basil, and cinnamon. We also learned where vanilla comes from, and what the difference is between vanilla extract and vanilla essence. Finally, on the tour we stumbled across leaf cutter ants as they carried leaves from trees and on the ground, back to their underground colony to cultivate the fungus that they eat for food.

Julie, Garry and Kathy,
Thank you for continuing to do these trips with our kids. Without you many of them would not have the opportunity to experience this. Julie.... you are amazing and are one of the very few teachers I would allow my daughters to go out of the country with. You do an excellent job with them and at making us nervous parents feel more comfortable.
Love to you all,
The Barratt's
