Cabina's

We stayed in Cabina's in the Rain Forest the past three days. Hmm...lets just say it was rough, we were "swollen."


Don Miguel invited us to stay in his Cabinas and help his eco-tourism work for the past three days. We woke up at 5am each morning and carried heavy logs atleast a mile to create fencing so they can be in code for the national tourist board's regulations. This guy was awesome.


Trickster. Don Miguel was funny and always in a good mood even though he worked his behind off. We were walking through the rainforest while it was pouring. (I don't mean a Pittsburgh Pour times that by ten these rain drops were HUGE) He was walking up a trail and Boss (Bossert) was down below and he threw a rock right in front of her and creeped her out it was halirious. After a long day of work yesterday we were sitting in our work clothes in a water fall taking pictures and he started to throw water at Boss. As we walked through the Rain forest he picked different leaves and told us to try them, most of them were good, but when they were bad he of course laughed at our reactions. There was a huge bridge that was VERY scary to everyone at first and when we walked across he shook it so he could see us grab on soo tight. I loved Miguel he was fun, we even broke the rainforest but he helped teach us how to fix it. We were making the trial wider and there were landslides which almost killed Morgan, Crystal and Also Monteria.


We made a rather nice donation last night to his project of $650 and half of our first aid kit. (BTW The Nurse Hooked us UP! We used that kit sooo much) After our donations we played a few games. One he told us a ghost story about the headless horse man and Crystal freaked out, Don Miguel was laughing so hard. There was also a Gato (Cat) game, I'll let someone else talk about that.


Don Miguel took us to the coolest natural waterfalls ever. We got to swim in them and climb on them and everything. I've never seen anything more pretty in my life. Dubas said he'll post pictures.



I have tons to say but I wanna pass off the comp to someone who needs to blog as well, I'm sure with the combo of our posts you'll hear all about our past few days.



**Oh yeah, we were attacked by wasps and ants, and Boss, Dub & Matt Saved us**

Definately sounds like an adventure! Surely, memories that you will never forget. If you can remember what in the first aid kit they were interested in having, maybe I could send some supplies to them for being so gratious.

I hope that some of you will visit me back in my windowless office and share some additional adventures!
