Tessa, Sandra, and I joined a short hike with a group from Minnesota today up Cerro de Oro, part of the volcanic complex surrounding SLT. It was pretty vertical for the first half of it, then turned into pathways through rocks and trees, ducking under branches and leaves, dirt kicking up everywhere. I felt just like Leonardo DiCaprio when he was going jungle-nuts in The Beach. JUST LIKE THAT, YOU GUYS. It's amazing that people hike up it for work - there were coffee plants and stacks of wood scattered along the trails, signs of daily life. It was super fun, with beautiful views of the lake and volcanoes. There's something satisfying about being covered in dirt when you walk through the door at the end of the day.
It feels like I've been here a month, even though it's only been 10 days and I know the next few will go by so quickly... Everyone's getting more comfortable with eachother and things are starting to get weird. Finally.
Life has always poppies in her hands. Oscar Wilde
