We have not given a daily report for several reasons: What we are doing is taxing for these old bodies.  Our classes begin at 7:30 am in the morning and do not end until 6:30 pm or later.  Then it is supper followed by doing homework.  Because we have been hiking most of the day up and down hills we are flat worn out.  To compound this the internet at the hotel was out for 24 hours. It is on this morning.(Friday)  We leave at 7 am for study field trips in the area of Benjamin for two days.  So only have a moment.
