Also, remember Tiffany, the rocking British chick from the Roraima trek?? Well, she sent me a few more pics of that hike so I'm including them here. (It's so fun to get nostalgic about a trip before it's even over!) Apparently, a bunch of Tiffany's friends asked her who this guy was she was obviously snogging. From looking at the pics, I can't imagine how they could get that idea...

How cute are we here, all rugged and stuff???

Yep, we're obviously snogging.

Talk about "cute" -- how cute is my tiny little mesh tent in the foreground??

This pic should give some sense of the steepness o the "trail," and by trail, I mean "series of boulders arranged vertically,¨as well as a sense of the size of my pack, as well as a sense of my totally honkin' calf muscles.
