chasing rainbows

View from the summit!







Today we went for at 13k hike across Hunan Mountain Range.The summit was at about 860 meters and it was an amazing view! We had a 7 am start, and finished around 4 pm. Afterwards, exhausted, we decided to rest our tired feet with a quick swim! The beach were we live is incredibly rocky, but the one at the end of the hike felt like bath water and had silky smooth sand... well, after you made it past the 20 ft of barnacle covered rocks (which I cut my foot on, not much of a surprise there though). When we got back there was a gorgeous rain bow arching over campus with the sun setting on the opposite side!!! It was a an incrible day! we identified tons of pant species, and observed multiple changed in forest composition, and heard the call of an endangered bird!



like our safety get up?

Erikka, steph, elise and I decided to go on a nice bike ride after classes, but we are required to wear reflective vests and helmets. It was sweet! Also the bikes are fixed gear bikes, so the little bit of off-roading we did didn't go so well...
