Hey! Remember the last blog when I said Puerto Rico was going to be sunny? Well, my friends\u2026 I was incorrect! There are sunny periods, don\u2019t get me wrong, but the rain showers have been non-stop since I landed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airplane process was smoother than I thought it would be, which I am grateful for.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My tasks in the Inn include but are not limited to: Sweeping the floor to remove the leaves around the pool area, maintaining the dining area, and the porch, fixing a pipe, sealing a roof, and installing a doorknob! I didn\u2019t expect to become a handy man during my trip! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I met Bill & Renee for the first time, and we started talking like we had known each other for months! I also met the other intern named Celestine who\u2019s from Belgium, who\u2019s kind and who doesn\u2019t hesitate to help me around when she can because she\u2019s been here for a month already. They also have a dog called Levi! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The daily life in the Rainforest Inn is calm and simple. Times flies rapidly here, though. I always wake up with a mouth-watering breakfast. The vegetarian diet is delightful, and I adapted well to it. Bill & Renee helped me discover The Hitching Post which is a fantastic restaurant near the Inn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is this hike we can do that apparently leads to a waterfall. I tried it, but it was extremely muddy and had to go back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next week, I plan on visiting Puerto Rico a little bit more and try the hike again if the rain ceases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
