Today, we woke up ( Heintze, Coney, and I) at 6:50 am and ate breakfast at El Jardin ( in which I had five buttered toasts) and then got to the bus. We were exhausted despite bring able to sleep in. I slept on the bus as usual in a most uncomfortable position with a smelly, wet towel on my face. After an hour or so of driving with Francisco, we stopped at a riverside shop, where I bought White Sap fruit, lychee, passion fruit, and guava.

We then saw crocodiles at the river and tried to guess how long we would last if we fell into the river. It was really cool that we got to see that!

After driving again for a little while, we stopped by the pacific coast and got some pictures of the beautiful coast. We then drove again for a little while and went on the beach

When we got to our destination, Las Cruces, I said a quick prayer to the wifi gods and headed out with my stash of fruits. During dinner, we had the fruits cut for us. I do have to say though that the white sap fruit was a little rotten so that is why it was so soggy, but still it was delicious! Everyone liked them (except a certain someone *cough* *cough* *wink* *wink* *looks in Mr. Willard’s direction*)

After dinner, we were given a very informative briefing by Zak, the station director. We learned about the history behind Las Cruces and the extremely diverse plant and animal life inside Las Cruces. I personally found it quiet interesting.
