Day 2


Photos from the waterfall turned out to be too dark to be of much interest for the blog. Our hosts at Rancho Mastatal put on a fairly unexpected but inspired regional variation of Macbeth, titled "Macbetho", last night for dinner-theater. This was a great conclusion to a busy first day.

Today we reviewed knots (bowline and double-overhand stopper- see photo), introduced map and compass use, and had a full afternoon of human anatomy and physiology review. Class ended at 5:30. Dinner is at 6:45. Breakfast tomorrow at 7 am, with class starting at 8.

The area around Mastatal has had a tremendous increase in scarlet macaw populations; we are seeing and hearing these amazing birds throughout each day. It's hot here, but more overcast and a bit rainier than usual, providing a welcome break from the sun.
