    First of all I would like to say that I apologize for not posting as much as I usually do, but the thing is I was out of the country and into Guyana, South America. Anyway I couldn't post because I don't have international internet access. So I know you guys are dying to here about my trip, so I'll just dive right in.

    The first day of my three day trip I spent at the top of Mount Roraima, Guyana. Let me just say that its freakishly high. I mean we're above the clouds high. Anyway, at one part of the mountain there is a site seeing place where, if you pay more money, can watch Guyana's magnificeint birds perch. So that was a blast.

   On the second day, we decided to take a trip to one of Guyana's many forests. There we animal watching. At first we only saw a few Toucans, but the deeper we climbed in, the more we saw. First, we saw a cougar drag its kill up a tree. Then we saw monkeys swinging on vines and using there very curios minds to open coconuts. Finally, we saw the main beauty, a red Cotinga (which is native/unique to Guyana). It was a beautiful site seeing it fly.
 
   Finally, the last day we didn't know where to go, but a native pointed out the Guyana Zoo. So, we decided to give it a try, and what a place to go. They had everything. From poisonous snakes (which wasn't an exhibit) to hippos. And on the airplane ride home all I could think about was the magnifiect view of the Roraima mountains.
