Yesterday we did many exciting things. In the morning, everyone got up at 5:30 to go on a bird hike through the rainforest. We went on a hanging bridge, which was fun, but also very scary. Then we came back and checked our traps that were up overnight for bat guano. We gathered the seeds and brought them back to the lab to identify them. At 2:00, everyone went white-water rafting. We went on many different types of rapids. It was very fun. We took a break and had a huge splash fight. It started as a little joke, then it became girls verses boys, and then it became an every-man-for-himself fight. Everyone got soaked. Then at night, we had a culture night. We learned to cook and dance the salsa. We had so much fun dancing.
Pura Vida!

WOW! I can't wait to see the rafting and water fight pictures. Andrew wants to know how the rafting went since he will be doing it soon. Laura, try keeping your eyes open in a few of the pictures, please!
ReplyDeleteGreat "post" girls...don't forget to take lots and lots of pictures! Can't wait to hear/see what you did today!! xo
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun, but what do you mean by checking traps? What were you trying to catch? I bet the white water rafting was a blast and I'm sure the girls won your water fight. Pura Vida!!! (whatever that means, I hope it is something like bye...)

Megs,
ReplyDeleteDad here with your sports update. You people need to stay there longer. While you've been gone, all the Boston sports teams have been on fire! The Sox just swept the Twins in both games of a double header, making it their 5th and 6th in a row (maybe even 6th and 7th. I'm losing track!) The Bruins tonight finished up a sweep of the Montreal Canadiens, outscoring them 17 to 6 over the 4 games. Domination. And even the poor injured Celtics came back to tie up their first round series against the Chicago Bulls. So as I wrote above...don't come home!!! Wait until the Pats win next February! Oops gotta run back to the highlights. See ya soon,
love,
Dad
Cool
