Today my mentor group of Claire Dibble and Belle Burch go to explore the town of Murchinson by bike. Instead of the usual morning workout we went and biked around and had an amazing breakfast at a place dibble used to eat at when she lived in this area. The cool thing about murchinson is that it is 3 river valleys combined into one which i thought was very cool, and it has some awesome whitewater kayaking around like the Maruia Falls which is a 35 feet waterfall which everyone ran. It was by far one of the scariest things i have ever done. Our mentor activity this morning was a great way to relive some stress before our exams which start tomorrow. we got to stop on the road whenever we liked to take pictures of the very pretty valley. The quarter is coming to an end and it will be very sad to see everyone go, but i already can not wait for next semester in Chile to begin.
