Welcome to the jungle: ¡Hola! From Ecuador!‏

What a pleasant surprise to get an email from sophomore XC/track runner Jenna Robinson, who is spending her holiday break in South America with a small contingent of Marist students and faculty, studying species in the wild. She reported that she is having an “unparalleled time” in the jungle, having already seen wild capuchin monkeys, tarantulas, large snakes, and “many many more animals I have never seen before, let alone in the wild!” Jenna’s next stop are the Andes, with oxygen sucking elevations over 13,000 feet – her strong XC fitness will come in handy up there. We are hoping for more updates from Jenna, in the rare moments she has WiFi.
