Day 52 Oct 28

-Woke up not feeling so well and packed
-Had to say goodbye to everyone in Tutu that was really sad. Saying goodbye to Johnny, the boy who I went to the hospital with becuase he cut his hand, was probably the hardest...and his adorable little brother. I didn´t really like my family that much so it wasn´t that hard to say bye but my sister Llovana was crying.
-Cleaned the program house and hopped into the vans
-Rode in 4x4´s up a mountain a little under 17,000ft. I felt sick from earlier and from the car ride so once we started hiking I had no energy and my stomach didn´t feel good. As we started to descend I felt better. We hiked through these rocky bowls and then up and down a pass. On the way down you could "rock ski" because it was easy to slide/run. It was really fun! The landscape was mountains similar to Apolobamba. It is cool though becuase we started way up in the mountains in a totally different ecosystem and then throughout the trek slowly descended into the jungle
-that night we camped at the base of Mount Illampu. It was gorgeous! There was also an aqua blue stream running right through our campsite. We made dinner and played some group games.
-Cards and then bed
