cont. day 1 & day 2. . .

So I went back to look at my photos, and I forgot to put up some plants that were pretty neat. To finish off day 1. . .

These are bananas just hangin out. . .with a very weird devil-looking tail underneath

YUCA BABY

Cutest dog I've ever seen in my entire life.

So after our lil jungle tour, we put our heads down to sleep. Or we tried to anyways. Garrett and I entered our cabin only to find the bed I was going to sleep in already had a guest in the bed within the mosquito net. . .that being a massive spider and a beetle that would make the dog above cry. So I changed beds (upper bed on the bunk) and tried to sleep through the massive heat and fear of getting munched by bugs.

2nd day. . .

I woke up, checked my bod, and found that I wasn't some insect's 4th meal (shouts to taco bell). After some breakfast, I walked back to my cabin and found my classroom:

"Hi! My name is Gustavo, I have a 'stash that would make Stalin jealous, and I'm here to tend to your Spanish Language needs"

So after 4 hours of trying to pay attention to Gustavo while looking out at the gorgeous river and plants right in front of me, we ate a delicious lunch. We gathered in the main dining hall and were told that we were going to climb a few waterfalls. I didn't really know what to expect as we started on the trail. . .but we soon enough reach a spot where our guide sits us down to explain a certain plant. He slits open the plant, takes out the blood-red large seeds inside, and explains how they use this seed to formulate paint for special occasions. Garrett proceeded to take a few seeds, smeared it all over my face, and I looked like a Latino version of Betty Boop. . .

I have no clue.

 

 

Anyways, we continue on this gorgeous hike through insanely beautiful waterfalls, while seeing a lot of the plants we saw beforehand. Check it out. . .

TLC said to not chase waterfalls, but I totally disagree

Sorry I haven't been updating as much as I should have, my keyboard has been acting out of control. But I promise more will come so soon!
