7:15 a.m.

After waking from a restless night,
I found everyone ready to view birds in flight

I don't like birds so Crystal and I stayed behind.
Perhaps they will come across an interesting find

I would also like to mention,
yesterday Nick chugged an entire can of V-8.
Afterwards, he said he was feeling great.






9:05 a.m.

After a breakfast of chorizo, beans, and eggs,
we are ready to get into the forest and stretch our legs

Some ate yogurt and granola.
I hope we see some locals and greet them with "Hola!"








6:15 p.m.

Spent the whole day measuring palm lots.
Now we're ready to collapse on our soft cots.

Scratches, bites, and cuts we now bear.
Our professor even required minor medical care.








Arun and I waded across the river during the day,
while Lenna and Leonel took another way.

Some of us took baths in the river.
The water was so cold it made us shiver.

Dinner will be ready soon.
Then we'll sit by the fire and gaze at the moon.







10:15 p.m.

For dinner we were served pork and cabbage.
After a long day of work, the food we did ravage.

So now I say good-bye, its been really fun.
I really like rhyming, but thank God I'm done.--Kaitlynn O.
