In the forest, the mighty forest

Last night had to be one of the deadliest yet memorable moments so far here. Now, me being completely petrified of bugs, I don't even know how I managed to make it through to write this entry. But through all the struggles of last night, I still enjoyed myself. As we arrived at the rainforest I instantly felt the muggy humidity that I hate and began to be attacked by the bugs. Now, I knew what I was getting myself into but as we went on our late night trail walk, I literally wanted to die. Now, if you put aside all the screaming from everyone who was afraid, I would have to say it was amazing. How can something so ugly can turn out to be so beautiful. When walking through the trail we encountered a variety of different species- from trails and trails of different types of ants, to the guide signaling owls. It was truly an amazing experience to see every thing in its element, much like on the Safari ride in South Africa. It was even more amazing in the morning because I was able to see the battle of bugs that I was fighting. Just seeing everything and hearing everything was so peaceful and truly brings joy to my heart. Even with all the complaining from the long walks and burning hot sun I know that when I leave I will miss it all.
