My team

The team I was with for the first phase - 'Alpha 4' - were  very nice. At first we were all very nervous, but quickly felt more relaxed and comfortable round each other, and by the end we felt so much like a family that it was very upsetting to leave this beautiful place. Prima and the rangers set up a party for that evening to celeberate our time there, with lots of lovely food and salsa dancing (though I am still no better at it!), and a speech saying how grateful they were. In return, we made them a card and also had written a speech in Spanish that each person read - while it was hard to pronounce, they seemed even more touched by the attempt!

We left that morning and our currently back at field base waiting for our 2nd phase to be decided, so thought I would use this free time to go into the local town and use the internet cafe! Soon we will be given our new Alpha groups and be told what phase we will next be doing, so there is alot of suspense!

Adios, James x
