Andy's NIGHT OF SURVIVAL

OK here is a quick blog on how Andy's night of Survival went. He left last Thursday and arrived here... This is the Royal Ranger camp site for Costa Rica... Right next to it is the Dole Pineapple Plant.. Kind of cool..
Everyone stayed in these cabins, and they were okay. Except no screens are on the windows so that made it possible for anything to crawl in......
This is a picture of some of the guys from the camp out, they went on a midnight hike. Some of the guys fell down on the journey and got pretty muddy... Not Andy though, as we all know he is MR. Clean. When he came home, he looked a little Brauny due to the no shaving for 2 days, but he was just wet and a little dirty... Which is funny!
Here is Andy's crew setting up camp, Andy said the camp was okay. But when the rain came it fell down completely.. But he said they taught all the guys SURVIVAL Skills. For example: start a fire, chop wood, make a tent.. And I am thinking, why did they not call me to come teach??? HELLO, my middle name is Survival... Just Kidding..
Here are some pics of the wild life, Andy said that he woke up every morning to hear these Monkeys, Yelping in the jungle... Is that not Crazy to think about..

Andy made it home alive, he had around 10 bug bites, he had Fire Ants on his arm at one point. And he has a huge bruise on his leg from the fun round of midnight Paintball game they played..
You may be asking what i did during these 2 days... I spent the night with a friend and went shopping at the Market downtown. Also i watched a couple of movies, and made a paper chain.. The paper chain counts down how many days untill Christmas... Yeah, I am so excited to see my family and friends... Okay off to go read my Bible and possible look at Spanish...

I am glad to hear that Andy survived his "Survival" time and that you both will be able to make it home for Christmas. So, how may days left on the paper chain?

BTW - since YOU have me for Christmas dear Chelsea, get something native from Costa Rica. I'm counting on you.

Love you both....
