Where, oh where do I begin. I suppose the place to start is the beginning?
Keeping it short.
The theme of the trip was land surveying. "Land surveying is the technique and science of accurately determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional position of points and the distances and angles between them. These points are usually on the surface of the Earth, and they are often used to establish land maps and boundaries for ownership or governmental purposes." To be completely honest I still don't know why in the world we needed to learn how to do that, but that's school for you. We also did a lot of hiking. All day 8-12 hour hikes. The food was shit, the showers were horrible, but I was surrounded by great people that made the trip go by quite quickly.
The first few days where gray and wet, but the rest of the trip was bright and sunny. Although the work itself was not particularly enjoyable the views where extremely distracting. The air was fresh and I was able to spend hours and hours atop beautiful grassy, green hills. At the end of each day I would come back tired, with wet leather boots, warm, but with red, ice cold cheeks. Not sun kissed, but, fresh, wet wind kissed.
The sunsets where to stunning to be real. I felt like I was in another world. Most days I didn't see anyone except the people in my class, which made it seem like we were the only people in the world. Enchanting views and wide open spaces. For 2 weeks my eyes saw fresh green and grey/ blue skies. Bonding, bright and faded colors, learning, growing, withstanding great change and physical chalenges.
Another great experience.
