Hey everyone,

So my 20 hours of travel finally ended and I am now here at Soysambu writing to you in my room. The internet is limited but accessible for me to post. Today was an interesting first day. It was all surrounded by a dirt bike race that went through the conservancy in an attempt to raise some money. Before the race I hung out with the guards and Duncan (my supervisor) and we helped with the entry fees and preparation of the course. Then the real stuff began. We drove to the Monkey Bridge campsite which was the starting line and the atmosphere was so crazy but friendly. I met Tom (whos the relative of Lord Delamere) and he owns a lot of the conservancy and I actually got to hang with him for most of the day. He invited me to join his crew to watch the race from one point and Duncan said "go with him I'll meet up with you at some other point" I was a bit worried I wouldn't run into Duncan. But 2 hours later as Tom and his crew and I are watching the racers and counting times, Duncan turns around the corner (in the middle of the jungle) and we made eye contact and laughed. After the race finished we hoped in the pickup truck and went to the award ceremony and ate hot dogs. Once everything finished Duncan and I got dropped off at the Research Center and had a relaxing afternoon.
