Day X: A Brand New Day

First, I'll go over yesterday, Day 4.

Breakfast: 2 three inch fish I speared the night before, boiled (pretty fishy tasting), two tangerines.

Lunch: Chopped half-boiled banana.

3:15pm: Snickers Bar.
3:20pm: Beef Jerky.
3:21pm: Heineken.
3:29pm: Macaroni & Cheese.






Yep, I know, we failed...already. There are no excuses, but the following were MAJOR issues:

1. We had to teach every day (started on Monday, Parent/Teacher confereneces), during key hours for protein collection.

2. We live miles from the school, requiring us to walk an average of 3 miles a day here. Again, during crucial hours of daylight.

3. Going along with #2, we have no car to transport ourselves, our spears, fishing gear, etc.

Anyways, the naysayers can nay say all they want, overall it was a cool experience and we both learned a lot. Being famished for so long (80 hours in our case) is a pretty discouraging way to live.
Be sure to check out Nate's blog, there should be a pretty funny video coming up soon of the both of us.

Needless to say, today has been glorious. This morning I poured a hot cup of coffee and ate some cereal, then took this picture while waiting for the school bus.
