Por vs. Para

The fact came up at the end of class on Tuesday that we had never learned the proper uses of por or para like we were supposed to the week prior. So, our teacher pulled out her poster board the next day and took all of Wednesday trying to instill within us the knowledge of when to use these two similar words. Por has about 14 uses and para about 9. This is a lot to keep track of but I did alright on the worksheets she gave us.

We were picked up from COSI after classes and taken out to the mangroves where we kayaked through the estuaries. Another group of 9 people was supposed to join us, but they cancelled which was fine by us. Our guide took us to a spot where we attempted to look for crocodiles but none were to be found. We saw tiger herons, a grip of crabs, bats, and these crazy fish that kept jumping out of the water and scaring us. We went through some rather tight channels where at times we had to pull ourselves through and under the spider web-like branches of the mangroves. Pictures will be posted later as they were taken with a waterproof disposable camera.
