Another Weekend Gone

It has been a pretty relaxing weekend here in PG. On Friday night we went to Bamboo Chicken, a bar here in PG. Sarah's family came in town so we all had a couple drinks and hung out. Sarah's family is great and we shared a few hiking stories! The water was also phosphorescence (that's probably spelled wrong) but it was glowing when we through in rocks. Once again, I missed Island. Definitely a fun night. Samish

On saturday one of the ProWorld staffers, Blaze Chase (awesome name!) came in town from the Cayo sight. She lived in Oxhaca, Mexico for a long time working for ProWorld. She is from Seattle so we chatted about how much we love Washington and the San Juan Islands. (I'm telling you, this trip is just calling my name to go back to Samish this summer. I am VERY disappointed that I can't.) She is super awesome and wish I could pick her brain for a day. Niki, Haley, Coi, and I walked around town to the market and shops in the morning and went to the pier to swim all day. We came back to the bunkhouse to relax in the hammocks and wait for Sarah's family. We had pizza for dinner from one of the restaurants here. They have great Banana shakes. When we got back (partly via my request) we hung a sheet, set up a projector, and watched a movie on the veranda. Laying in a hammock watching a backyard movie is only second to the actual backyard movie night. Loved it!!

Sunday, I joined the Whitman family and the girls on another trip to Blue Creek. Apparently it rained last night so the water was really high and murky. If you saw the pictures from our original pictures they were crystal clear, so it was a the exact opposite. We made it a very short distance through the cave before we had to to turn around because the current was so strong. However, we spent the afternoon jumping off the rope swings again. I had a great time and going back actually made me even more thankful for the amazing time we had on our first visit. 

I am starting my new project with Dr. Arzu tomorrow. I am so very excited for this and can't wait to share it with you all!! I have to be there at 8 am and I don't know how long I will be working. But, since I am going straight to her house instead of the bunkhouse I am not sure the next day I will be back here. I will definitely try to type up my experience on my computer but depending on my schedule I may not post for a few days. Can't wait to share!
