Last Saturday we took a trip to Ankasa Nature Reserve with our friend from church, Wilson. It was a beautiful rainforest. We took a long hike through the forest. Sometimes we were walking on a nice path, and other times we were climbing under and over tree trunks. It was a beautiful day and area. We were a little disappointed because we went to find elephants and didn't see anything but a snake.
I took a million pictures because I couldn't believe how green it was.

This is a picture of the guide who took us through the forest. At first I was a little concerned about walking into a thick forest following a man holding a machete. I got used to the idea quickly and became even more comfortable when I realized that the primary purpose of the machete was to clear the path of spiderwebs and brush, and not to keep wildlife away!

After our hike, we ended up on this nice dirt road. We walked down this road about ten minutes before arriving back at our taxi.
