Another easy day today. Dad and I just rode to Tyrona (National park) we walked along the beaches and got a couple pictures. Then we came back and relaxed. I met three girls that were staying at the hostel and they are from Vancouver. I have to say that its really nice being able to talk to someone about your home and they know where your talking about. Apparently these girls always come out to Cultas Lake every summer. So this summer they want me to show them around the chilliwack area. Looking forward to it.

I woke up this morning and wasn't feeling too great, but did I ever have a blast last night. So first thing I did this morning was grab a bowl of popcorn and found a hamic. I also had the laptop with me. I went and checked my email and I got an email from my mom saying that one of my old childhood friends passed away on Febuary 10. Dallas Hardy, born December 27, 1991. He was an old friend I used to play with when we had our cabin at pavillion lake. I havn't seen him in years. This was the worst day of the trip by far. Not only am I really hung-over but I find out that an old friend of mine just passed away. So I spent a good chunk of the day looking through Dallas's pictures on facebook. Dallas Hardy you will be missed dearly.

Finally I can eat food with flavor. It has been a week now and i can eat greasy food again. I am all up to snuf and ready to party on the Chiva bus tonight. Once dad and I got ready for the day we went back up to Minca. We rode the bikes up to the town of minca and took them on the hiking trail to the falls. We didn't go back to "Pozo Azul" we went to the "Minca Falls". It was a nice ride up to the fall and it was very beautiful. It reminded me alot of home. Once dad and I got back to the hostel we took it easy for the rest of the day and pepared ourselves for the chiva bus. Around 10 we got on the bus and the night was on its way.

Today was really nice. Dad ,me and our new friend Eli went to the Simon Boliviar Museum. It was apprently suppose to be the second best museum in south america, I thought it was good but not the second best in South America. But mind you dad and I havn't been to many museums on this trip. But all in all I am glad we went. 5 bucks for an afternoon away from the hostel, was quit nice. Once we got back we just hung around the rest of the night.

Today dad and I went with a group of people from the hostel to "Pozo Azul". We also wanted to go to Minca but after we had hiked to Pozo Azul alot of us were really tiered. Anyways we hiked to Pozo Azul. It only took about a half hour. Once we got there we just had to take pictures. It was very beautiful. There was a nice little water fall with a large open pool of water to swim in. There was also a rope swing that you could swing on the little waterfall. It was really fun. Me and the Irish guys jumped numerous times. Once we returned to the little village were we were droped off by the taxi the group split up. A bunch of us retured to the hostel and the rest went hiking to the minca falls. Once dad and I retured we socailised the rest of the night.

We woke up this morning and had some breakfast. After breakfast we were talking with Eli, also staying at the hostel, and said she wanted to go to Toganga. So dad and I invited her along with us. We rode the motorcycles so she rode on the back of dads bike. We arived in Toganga and headed straight for the beach. We soaked up the sun for a couple hours then headed back to the hostel were we just chatted with the other guests and shared stories.
