Day 56 - Reed's Birthday!

Today has been a great day!!  We thought we were going to be really crunched with time because we had two papers due for our classes here and some Spanish homework, but we ended up only having Spanish class and our assignments got postponed since we were in Moka for 2 weeks...que suerte!  Plus, it's Reed's birthday!

And on top of all of that, the Real Madrid v. Barcelona game was on and we got to go out to Irish Pub and watch it...what a great day.

There is one thing I forgot to mention about my time in Moka and that is about Gabrilla (he said that is how you spell it, but I am unsure haha) the watchman of the wildlife center.  He was a character...he is from Cameroon and so he spoke some English and he always had everyone laughing.  The one night he had to come out with me to look for galagos because Fermine was busy with Reed and Prospero and although he was complaining the entire time, he actually was good at finding them!  He also was making me laugh the entire time because he started out saying that we wouldn't see any farther on the trails where there weren't any banana plants because they have nothing to eat...they don't eat bananas...then he said that we wouldn't see any because they are asleep...they are nocturnal...and the kicker is that he said we should just go to Cameroon to see galagos because they don't eat everything like the people here...it was a comical night to say the least.

Before leaving, Gabrilla gave me a Cameroon soccer jersey that was too small for him.  A really cool souvenir because David said he had to go to Cameroon in order to get his! haha

Well, now I actually have to start my papers for ENVS and Society...

Hasta luego,
