January 21
We arose early and shambled down for another day of chicken couping. After a delicious breakfast we made our way down to the beach once more to pile into the boat and head to Los Plantos. We were greeted by the family and quickly set to work. We had a majority of the structure done, so we set to stapling in the mesh floor and lining the walls. The group had a lot of fun as the day progressed. Laughing and joking as the coupe become more and more complete, we finally had to take a break for lunch. Back to Freiner’s house we went. We were treated by a delicious meal as usual and took a relaxing siesta on the lawn after.
After our break, Nancy rallied the troupes back over to the pen to put the finishing touches on. After another hour or so the coupe was near completion. The sign was painted, the lining was done, all that was left was the door hatches. Then the chickens arrived! They came in a brown cardboard box, peeping away. Everyone was overjoyed at their arrival. We set to work washing and scrubbing both the chicks and the equipment while others finished the coupe. After a while everything was done! Coupe finished, chicks arrived, and everyone with smiles on their faces. We were thanked by everyone and took a group pic in front our finished work.
Then it was back to Companario after as long day. That night Nancy gave a lecture on rainforests and it was off to bed.
