So, I'm going to Guatemala for three weeks to take an environmental science course. The point of this blog is for me to post work, photos, descriptions of the places I've been, and generally just what I think of the course and Guatemala itself. Neato.

Day eight
Day eight was pretty eventful for me. A few of us went ziplining in the morning, and it was beautiful. There were four or five lines in total, and we went over some of the clearest water I have ever seen. We also walked in front of a smallish waterfall, and the guides took a lot of pictures for us. I somehow managed to smash my toenail between two planks of wood and slip on a bridge, so I get to come home with a bunch of battlescars! After that was done, we went back to the hotel and got into the bus. We had planned to visit the Ram Tzul waterfall on our way back to Guatemala City, but we were all too tired. On our way back to the city, we noticed people spraying crops with a very dangerous pesticide without using crops or gloves, and we got a few pictures of them. Along the entire ride back we got a lot of pictures of different crops growing in various locations, for example corn being grown on the sides of mountains.
