Hello!!
Today was an amazing day for all of us. It started with science, which is always long and tedious work. However, most of our groups are having fun creating and executing our ant projects. Whether we are taking off ant butts or creating sugar water, the projects are progressing.
Then came the super exciting part of the day. The group of us hopped in a modified Army truck and drove for a good 30 minutes to a remote area near a dense part of the rainforest. The ride was super bumpy and always lifted us out of our seats. It felt like a roller coaster, except it was raining harshly, so it was a really wet roller coaster. At last, we arrived, after becoming really nauseated, and got our gear to go zip lining! After the exhausting trek up the big hill (but a really small mountain), we were ready to begin our adventure. Since it was our first time zip lining, we were definitely terrified, but excited... but mostly terrified. On the first line, most of us were nervous, then felt very relieved when we landed on the first tower. Only after a minute did we realize we had more lines to go across. After a couple lines, the guides told us to ride upside down, which some of us liked and some of us didn't. To some, it gave such an amazing adrenaline rush. On one of the towers, we saw a couple White Faced Capuchin monkeys. All of us were very excited and loved to cross it off our lists of things to see. The end of the ride was definitely the most exhilarating because it was the longest and had the most breath-taking view.
After such an eventful day, the group of first years played many card games. Battles arose in games of Spoons and Egyptian Slap. In the end, we are all having so much fun experiencing new things. But we are very, very tired. Time for a good night's sleep.
