Today I had a lesson from 5:30-7 and from 7 - 11, went exploring with Jim Conrad. We saw a beautiful orchid that he took a picture of. I'll post it when he gets it on his website. It was too dark in the jungle to take a good pic with my cheap camera. Other than that we saw a ton of ruins which were just too difficult to photograph, but very interesting to explore. No snakes (although there was a boa constrictor within 20 feet of my room the other day, so I was pretty paranoid!). Tons of amazingly beautiful butterflies that I also couldn't photograph.
I hung-out on the hammock from 12-1 and had three visitors -- two to practice English, and one who just introduced himself for the first time.
Grammie Gracie had another stroke. She's in the hospital and talking and apparently moving her appendages. It was too late to call by the time I read my e-mail, but I called Uncle Kim and he said she doesn't seem as bad as last time, so thank goodness for that!
