Hello everyone,
I have been meaning to do this entry for a long time, but I never seemed to get around to it so I apologize for it being choppy but I am totally exhausted and just spent the day moving out of my place in preparation for my big move to Winter Park when I get back on the 12th. I have been procrastinating big time on this blog and it has now reached the point that I can't make as long of an entry as I want because I have to wake up in 6 hours and head to the airport.
Most of you probably know that I have been interning at an incredible nonprofit here in Fort Collins called Global Explorers (http://www.globalexplorers.org/). After doing free work for nine months my payment is finally here - starting tomorrow I will be traveling with a group of blind, visually impaired, and sighted students ages 14-20 to the Peruvian Amazon. While in the Amazon we will be working with Stan Rullman, an accomplished professor in the area of bioacoustics. Our main focus while in the Amazon will be to learn the local ecology and work with Stan to study the sounds of nature in the area - fittingly, the program is called the Sounds of the Amazon. I am so excited to go to Peru and experience the rainforest which will be such a huge change from my travels in Kenya. I doubt that I will be able to update this blog while I am in Peru, but when I get back I will do my best to post excerpts from my journal entries and tons of photos.
And finally, for those of you who tend to worry about me - don't! I will be having an amazing time and learning a lot and I will let you all know the second I get back in the states.
Much love,
Lindy
