Thanks for all your comments! Today nine of us went to a nearby river to do some cleaning up of garbaje and recycable things that were there, after we hiked up to a huge waterfall. Little did I know that this little nature hike would ential wading through high waters, shimmeying across high ledges, scaling gigantic wet and mossy rocks, and even machete-ing (not sure if thats a word) our way through tons of vegetation to create a path! Needless to say I, and many others, wiped out numerous times along the way getting my pants and (sarahs) rubber boots nice and dirty, but in the end it was worth it because I was able to see and swim in the most beautiful waterfall. The water was freezing, and the wind created from the water falling was so strong..here are some pics from it!
Tomorrow, our first field lab report is due at 7:00AM, we just finished writting it. i can only hope our grade will reflect how much time we put into it!
My lunches and dinners have sadly withered down to mainly salad beans and fruit now, and the beans are begining to become very monotunous (dont know if thats spelled correctly).
That is all for now! I miss you all :)
