Long day breakfast was about seven, I got up at 6 and had my last 

quiet time on the mountain. Shortly after breakfast we started packing 

and taking down the tent and loading everything up. We were short a 

vehicle going back so three of us (me included) had to ride back in 

the back of a truck. We had a lot less stuff coming back so we had a 

little room. We blew up an air matress to sit on. We left masahi about 

8:30am. We drove on mountain dirt roads for about three hours. Stopped 

for lunch about 1:30 and got into Fitchburg at about 4:00. Even with 

putting sunscreen on twice today, I still got baked from riding in the 

back. My legs and arms are pink. But I will take sunburn over stomach 

issues any day. I managed to stay healthy all week which was good.  We 

went straigtaway to the spar and got some water. Took showers. Then we 

went to kfc for dinner. I came up after dinner and started working on 

editing footage so we could do a video on Sunday. I will try to get 

some stuff uploaded just havnt been getting really good upload speeds.

It was a great trip, something that I will never forget, but now our 

trip is really just getting started. We need to go to the orphanage, 

check out some houses, check out some possible skate park venues, 

visit lumber store so that I can figure skate park prices, of course 

we have to go to the beach at least once, set up some interviews for 

our video, etc., etc.

Up early for breakfast at 7 and then on the road again for another 5 

hours but this time in a car not the back of the truck.  This hotel 

doesn't seem neAr as bad after a week in masahi.  Can't wait to skype 

with the family, it's been really hard having no communication with 

them at all.
