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. |

| 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. |

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
Just looking at the photos of the falls made me nervous! Nate, you got too close!! It looks beautiful though. Just checking in on you guys, glad you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteHey Kristen! Thanks for checking in on us, and congrats to you and Matt on the expectation of a new addition :)
ReplyDeleteIf you think I got too close, I should post the pictures of my brother Alex taking what he called a "life shower." Yep, he stood in it.
