A day as a tourist: Guanica's Dry Forest.

Today has been my day as a tourist. I went to Guanica's Dry Forest for the first time. I did not meet much people, except for the tour guide and the human resources employee. The guide was in charge of enjoying his life doing things he loved and the human resources employee was in charge of very superficial maintenance of the forest. One must never go there without a long sleeved shirt and insect repellent, it is of upmost neccesity for the element of survival. It was actually a nice road trip, I had a blast. I payed a couple of dollars to a really good friend of mine and he took us there, wondering it was going to be a school trip. We spent quite the significant time on the road, making stops and enjoying deep fried everything over the way, like a typical tourist would do. I was dressend in cakis, a buttoned shirt full of beach like flowers, some white socks (high to the knee of course), my heavy duty brown boots and a sun cap. My friend and I learned so much on this road trip, all from the rich variety of species Puerto Rico has to offer to the astounding climate conditions these speecies have to endure.

Overall I acted as a latinamerican tourist. I commented the people who greeted me that I was endemic from Colombia (since I could defend myself a little due to my paternal family being Colombian) and acted like a complete south american citizen. I asked many questions, had a funny and ambicious attitude and of course, be extremely nice. My friend and I were laughing almost all of the time we spent there because of my humorous and astounding attitude, sometimes it was just too funny. Overall I had a great experience. The people I had contact with totally thought I was for real. In fact, I never even told them it was for my English Literature Class. I'm grateful for the oportunity of being a tourist, it brought me positive vibes all day, although I always saw tourists as people who disturb. I hope I can do this again another day, just for the fun of it.
