weekend one

---

Hi all

I had a varied weekend, to say the least. On Saturday I went to a sort of nature reserve, in the middle of Tena. It was sort of part of the rainforest but all the trees had labels and their different properties. It was the hottest day yet, with clear blue skies. It was cool to walk round and Then I saw a small monkey and thought ´what a great picture opportunity!´so I kept still and it did eventually come close enough for a good picture. I then started to walk on and this monkey kept following me and started to get really annoying and freak me out a bit!!!! It was just me and the monkey and it was doing some very strange things. So I swiftly left the reserve, after about an hour of being stalked and harassed!

On the sickness side It hasn´t been great. I found myself heading forwards and backwards from the outside loo all through staurday afternnon and night. My homestay dad told me its my malaria tablets but i´m still not entirly convinced. Anyway, I spent most of Sunday in bed catching up on sleep.

Was at school today and was thunderstorming all morning so we had to stay inside but its cleared up now.

Thanks all for now!!

Damn you , you made me laugh in the middle of the computer cluster! I feel so out of touch with nature and the world in general here, I'm sure there are some advantages to Leeds though. In fact I found somewhere to actually go on a walk the other week and went on a trek through some woods and across a field (shock horror!) Anyway, sorry for the delayed response to these comments if you ever actually read them...
