First Goodbyes

July 28, 2014
By Precious S

It's only right that we've saved the best for last (haha, I know we're going to write after this, but I'm still technically the last student entry).
stopping at a beach on a sunnier day
Today we didn't do much.  It rained A LOT today.  We were supposed to help move logs for the path, but it was just raining too much.  Instead, some people conducted Forest GAP surveys while others did research in the library.

In accordance with the dreary day, we said good-bye to some members of the station - the Columbians along with guides and staff.  I was really sad to see Ramiro and Jose, in particular, leave. It's weird how the formation of relationships is accelerated  in the rainforest.  They were so nice and caring which made this already great experience so much better.

Since we were saying goodbye, it made me aware that we only have one week left in the rainforest.
goodbye to our Columbian friends
This is the beginning of the end.  The last week flew by and soon we'll be leaving.  It'll definitely be bittersweet, but all things must come to an end. Also we had tacos, which was pretty awesome.  Sorry, today was kind of slow.

Love Anyway,

Precious
