Pictures from Alpha four in La Cangreja

Well, Lizzy one of our drivers, is back at Fieldbase after a stint as Project Manager with Alpha Four in La Cangreja. Luckily she's a dab hand with the camera and has brought back some lovely photos of the group for your delectaion.

The group are all getting on really well, depsite having quite a lot of rain and working extremely hard. As I was with Alpha five, Lizzy has come back absolutely gushing about how fantastic the group, project and location are. I asked her to sum up the experience in five words and this is what she said...

"Hmmm, that's tough, I'd have to say Beautiful, Special, Amazing, Chilled...and really hard work!"

Alpha four - Mike, Emma, Bruno, Andrew, Louise, Juan Carlos, Sarah, Steph, Roz, Charlotte, Vee and Johannes.
The beautiful river near their camp
Juan Carlos, Mike and Louise keeping up their fitness regime, although with all that hard work digging I'm not sure where they get the energy!
Mike, Steph, Charlotte and Roz hard at work
Steph making easy work of the trench digging
Vee showing off her excellent shovelling skills
Bruno and Charlotte taking a well deserved rest
The group hald a Welcome to the Jungle party and everyone got into the swing of things with some really quite creative fancy dress, given that there were no fancy dress stores nearby! First up we have Vee and Emma as jungle fairies, apparently making a wish to stop the rain! (but unfortunately it didn't work and is still raining)
Roz as a jungle hippy
Sarah and Mike looking somewhat grumpy as Tarzan and Jane
Lou and Andrew as the king and queen of the jungle
Johannes doing his best frog impression
Juan-Carlos as a tree
Vee, Charlotte and Emma on Charlotte's birthday
Mid way though the phase, and to say good bye to Lizzy, the group took a trip to the amazing Playa Hermosa. It's a magical place and has the most incredible sunsets. Here are Andrew, Lou, Sarah, Mike and Emma watching the sun go down...
And finally, the whole group at sunset

I'll be posting a few more pics from Alpha three shortly along with a round up of all the other Alpha groups and how they're getting on in their final weeks.

Wow. Thanks so much. I liked the stick people but the camera tells a better story! You all look like you've settled in the jungle. Can't wait to talk to Sarah next week.

Much love Mum x
