As told by Mr. Sean Wyllie
| Our class arose in the early hours to hopefully (and I
say hopefully because we were supposed to take this journey the day
before, but alas our quest for knowledge was delayed because, well, so
was our tour guide) begin our nice, easy, brisk walk into the jungle to
see
Howler Monkeys, The Big Tree, and a nice waterfall on our return.
Being that this would be our first real hike through the wilderness on
our trip, with eager hearts we began our journey into the wild which
would reveal the true beauty of the world around us. We were only
half right..... We did see the beauty that the natural world holds
around us, but we also saw the treacherousness that lies beneath as
well. We blazed our own trail through the wilderness to see, and
hear, the wondrous Howler Monkeys. We dodged razor sharp spines as
big as daggers, climbed up the sides of mountains with our hands and
feet, and clung to the earth for dear life so as not to tumble to our
deaths.... Well, not really, but if we fell it would still hurt, A
LOT!!! We all made it through our tough and dangerous adventure through
the wild, and were rewarded with many wondrous sights and sounds along
the way. Not only will all of us remember all of the beautiful
sights that we beheld this day, but also we will remember the price that
our bodies paid in sweat and blood and broken bones.... Ok, so
there were no broken bones, or even blood, but there was sweat, lots and
lots of sweat....
