Half Credit

<li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 20.0px; font: 14.0px Arial; color:񬠜">Spend the night somewhere unexpected- I was on an overnight bus that was supposed to arrive at 6am. It got in at 2am. Since its too early to check in but too late to justify spending money on a room, a few backpackers slept on a lawn near the bus station (06/27/11; Seville, Spain)<li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 20.0px; font: 14.0px Arial; color:񬠜">Walk at least 20 miles (total) through the rainforest - I probably didn’t do 20 miles but I did do a lot between Australia and Brazil
