Today we went to San Ignacio city and split up to hand out brochures about aids, teen pregnancy, cholesterol, and blood glucose. We also tested blood pressure height and weight. We handed out tooth paste and tooth brushes to children and condoms to whoever wanted them. After that, we went to lunch and I had delicious nachos and limeade. After that, we went to a medicine trail and iquana sanctuary. Before going on the medicine trail, the tour guide warned us about venomous snakes to watch out for and right when we started the trail, a snake jumped out of a flower pot. This was just a little snake that is not venomous but it made us worried that we would see more on the trail. Thankfully we didn't. On the trail, there was a big termite mound. The tour guide told us that if we were stranded, we could eat the termites for protein. Then he let us try them. I tried one just so I could say I did. After the medicine trail we went to the iguana sanctuary. We first went into a cage with big iquanas. They were really scary but I held one so I could get a picture. Then we went into a cage with baby iquanas. They were so cute and fun to hold because they were so small and liked to crawl on you. After the sanctuary we went back to the Log Cabinn and rested until dinner. We had fish for dinner and the most delicious lime pie for desert.
