Has the humidity or rain affected your belongings?

I personally have not had many problems with the humidity here in the rainforest. It is currently dry season and has not rained a lot, but it does tend to stay pretty humid. The times I notice it the most are when I go jogging through the rainforest. It is also noticeable when the sun is not out, and my clothes are on the clothesline trying to dry. Another minor problem is that sometimes the glue on my envelopes gets moist and presses together, so they seal up before I put anything in them. Sometimes after it has rained, our cabins are very humid and everyone’s sleeping bag and sheets get a little damp. However, it is not too uncomfortable. Since it is pretty dry here now, the humidity has not been a problem for me.

After the program I am going back to Morristown, New Jersey to see my family and celebrate my 22nd birthday. I am then going up to Burlington, Vermont to see my boyfriend and friends for a few days. Then its out to Jackson Hole, Wyoming with my family to ski and celebrate Christmas. After Christmas break I will move back up to the University of Vermont for the Spring semester. I will miss all of the people I met here, especially my closest friends Bekki Stevens and Katie Reefe. To keep in touch we will exchange addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses. I am already planning to see Bekki in February and will hopefully see Katie next summer.
