| Aboard Lance's minibus to Mahdia. |
Ilana and I are still experiencing love bubble withdrawals
from the recent visit we had with my brother Alex and our close friend Noemi (and Cat
who was with us in spirit). Since I have a tendency to hype
stuff, I'll try to let the pictures do the talking.

 |
| Camping is about priorities, and the girls wasted no time correctly setting up camp. |
 |
| Alex, Ilana, and Noemi swimming in what we later found out was piranha infested waters. |

 |
| Taking a break on the 3 hour hike up to Kaieteur Falls. |
 |
| We found Kaieteur. I strongly believe everyone needs to see this place before they die. |
 |
| The river in the distance is where we boated and camped. We hiked up the left side, Alex did it in flip-flops. |
 |
| You can get so close (too close?) that it feels like your looking right at god's cleavage. |
 |
| The gang with Steve, a guide for another group, but one bad mo-fo of a cook. |
 |
| Back in Region 1. Noemi, Ilana, and Emily on a trail to Jumping Tree. |
 |
| Alex happy that he found his sandal. It was only elbow deep in jungle. |
 |
| Ilana, Noemi, and Alex on top of Jumping Tree. |
 |
| Water coconuts aren't going to knock themselves off the tree. |

| Me and my GUY-tech grilling station. |

Whether it was bouncing
around in a minibus, eating curry and roti, tromping through muddy
snake-infested jungles, or peaking off a cliff into the bowels of the Earth... Ilana
and I will definitely never forget the time we got to share together.
Thank you guys for coming to visit us in Guyana. We had the BEST time sharing
this beautiful and diverse country with you guys. We promised it would be the
most different experience you'd ever had. I hope we delivered.
Much love,
Nate and Ilana
