jungle blog

Hola, Marshall and Will here. We're writing to you from the jungles of El Valle. Today we have been sharpening both our Spanish skills AND our machetes. While the rest of the group (girls) were making sandals, we found it much more manly to purchase a "lima," or file, from one of the local shops, to sharpen our machetes in the school yard. This soon was referred to as the zona de hombres, which we quickly embraced. Soon after blacksmithing, we volunteered to kill the chickens that the group would later eat. We had a large meal with all of the locals that was prepared by the women who have been growing the flowers. Other notables: we played soccer with the kids in the village, and bought a bunch of plants which we will be bringing to the city after our adventures here in the jungle. For you guys in the city, the plants look nice and almost ready for sale. Lastly, although we haven't experienced any crime, we have experienced a broad spectrum of wildlife, including snakes, spiders, and mangy dogs.

Hasta la vista,

los caballeros
