I can't believe I have already been here for two weeks. The weather keeps getting hotter and hotter. This week is supposed to be 36°C (that's 96.8°F for all you americans who use incorrect units of measure for everything) and its just going to keep getting worse. Everybody is saying that this April is going to be brutal. I hope I don't wilt. Here is a list I made for you.
Things I Love About the Jungle
- getting up before sunrise, hiking in the pitch blackness, and watching the forest wake up
- seeing some kind of cool critter every single day (yesterday I saw an armadillo and a hummingbird!)
- finding amazing old trees
- looking around and noticing that you are surrounded by monkeys - some close enough to touch!
- coming home after a 13 hour day and having an ice cold shower
Things I Hate About the Jungle
- walking face first through a spiderweb
- walking through tall grass and coming out with your pants covered in ticks. blech.
- vines that tangle around your feet and make you fall flat on your face (possibly into grass filled with ticks. blech)
- having to trash data because the monkeys went through crappy forest and I couldn't keep up with them.
- sore feet. and ant bites. (or sore feet with ant bites. that's the worst!!)
Thanks for reading!!

Our units of measurement are extremely weird, but normal if thats what you grow up with your whole life... (who the hell came up with a "foot")
