a few photos

hey guys,
things are still going great here - the big team turned out to be a lot of fun and though i was in charge, somehow things still got done! hoorah.
i don't feel like writing too much so i'm going to give ya'll some photos to check out!
here is a picture from the top of El Morrito, a small mountain we climb just about every week to watch the sunrise and go swimming...

one day we went on a tour of this swamp type area, it was a mix of fresh and salt water and there was probably parasites in it, but josh swam in it anyway -- here is a photo of my friends kelly, rachelle and i on the boat (they are both gone now too, and they are also both awesome)
