Wet.

Phase ended and the pups went home yesterday!

They spent so long faffing about, they left loads later than they should have, and I even had time to write a little song.

I went on one of the buses to the airport to make sure they left. At the airport, some of the pups had beer that they wouldn't be able to bring through security, and wouldn't have time to drink. They gave me 15 cans of beer. One of them personalised a can for me. They weren't bad kids really.

Aw...

Got back to Fieldbase, had a nap, helped take down a marquee, and then it was time for our first drink in three months!

My first drink was a swig of Jameson, because that was the last thing I drank three months ago. Then I had beer. Then I had a Turrialblian (beer with a shot of Jameson). Then I was quite drunk, but carried on drinking anyway. Until 4am. I was with the last people standing. I've still got it. There was water and nudity, so apologies, no photos here.

Slept in today and rocked up to plenty of comments about the night before. Not that anybody at Raleigh is judgmental. I tied up a few loose ends with my work, including posting the final blog. I'm very proud of it. It's one of the best things I've ever written.

I started packing my rucksack and tidying my desk. It's very weird. The past three months, just being packed away like that.

I don't really have anything more to write at the moment. Tomorrow we head to Quepos, which should be grand.

Pura Vida!
