We woke up today to a delicious breakfast and plans to either spend the morning fishing or go on a hike in search of Spider Monkeys. The group that went fishing came back successful, with mostly Catfish that would be prepared for a later meal. The hiking group enjoyed our 3 mile trek through savannah and forested areas, and while we didn't find a Spider Monkey, we were able to appreciate lots of other wildlife in the unpredictable and seemingly interchangeable down-pours/sunny Guyanese weather. Our afternoon was spent on various chores (clothes were beyond smelly by this point) and on our ethnography assignment. We all had different ethnography topics, ranging from food acquisition to societal roles; talking to the locals and comparing our culture to theirs was an eye-opening experience. We also spent some time playing Frisbee, football, and cards with the Guyanese students after school. Another truck ride and a visit to a ranch await us tomorrow!
