SECTOR AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

As you've already read the conditions that we have been conquering while in Gondoca aren't what we expected, to say the least! Although the struggles we've overcome have really bonded us as a group more so then ever imagined. Trust me, being the only male on the trip, its been very interesting at times! haha. This morning is the end of our "vacatoin from vacation" and it was a pleasant surprise to wakeup not covered in new bug bites and sweat from the night before. It's relatively cool here and the bugs basically don't exists compared to the station we are staying at in the jungle. There's really no need to repeat everything else that the others have blogged about but I will touch on a few things:
1) This is no vacation from home! If anyone calls it that we will have to hurt you!
2) The conditions here are not what were mentioned in the brochure. haha. You can't describe this clearly in paper to anyone.
3) We're all covered in bites and some of us have managed to overcome their fears of bugs.
4) It's impossible to be clean! Everyday from sun up to sun down you are covered in sweat and sand WILL BE in places you never imagined.

This is most certainly an eye opening experience for us all and we'll be thankful for that later but right now we are going to go back and DOMINATE the jungle for one more week!
PS - All the hard work, sunburn, and tears are justified when you watch the little hatchlings emerge from the sand, wake up and stretch, then make their crawl to the sea to begin their lifes journey! :)
