Hope the nightmares are not too bad...hmmm wonder why I'm paranoid ;-)_

I am sitting (trying to avoid all the 0.5 inch , biting red ants) at the ledge of the rocks that lines the border of the Pre-Columbian era style huts that littered the entire Sierra Nevada Mountain ranges just off the Southern Caribbean coasts. See after the 6.5 hour hike today to get here we arrived at a panorama that rivaled the "Ciudad Perdida" experience last night. All we can say is that you can be sleeping under mosquito covered beds that are speckeled across the wooden but modern style open terraces, as you overlook at an 800 year old civilization eventually over-powered by the self centered Spanish conquistadors in the 1500's.

So in order to truly appreciate this experience you all must first know that we hiked some glorious jungle mountain side for the past 5 days and after many slips, scraped hands and legs, countless mosquito bites, and unforgetable vistas, we are relaxing in an authentic indigineous straw hut...

Nightime here is scary because all we hear about are the snakes that venture out and occassionally make there way into the huts or the random jaguar that hasn't had enough to eat and hopes to find food in this human settlement (hopefully not from us but from the left over food!!)

Let the dreams begin...talk in the morning.
