I do not know how "thebomb.com" was not introduced to me sooner, but Dan said it today and it is an absolute gem. And it describes how the last day of camp went this week as well as what we did after camp.
Birdwatching and getting to meet a couple of birds up close was what we were up to today. We had our guest "bird watcher" come today and he was another big hit with the kids. We saw a variety of birds on our hike today, including a few hawks, and we also learned how to identify different species based on their call. Then once we got back from the hike we had a presentation from the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. It was very interesting and I had never been so close to a great horned owl. They really do move their heads all the way around (pretty much)! It was also fascinating to hear the stories of the birds of prey they rescue and that so many of them are able to be released back into the wild. This is Max.
After camp, Kayla and I went looking for a coffeeshop to get some reading and homework done. Long story short we stumbled upon a fair trade wholesaler that roasts and packages the coffee before it goes out to restaurants, universities, etc. It was awesome, this roastmaster that we met showed us around and explained to us in great detail what happens there and also what is happening in the world of coffee. It was refreshing to talk to someone that was so obviously passionate about what he was doing. Especially since being in the coffee industry was not originally what he had planned for his life. Yea, it was great. We found out tons of information, got a "free tour" of how coffee is roasted, and also got a fresh shot of espresso on the house. It was a really cool experience to happen by accident. Thanks a latte, Green Star Coffee! =)
