An Excuse for Field Trips, Wednesday, 4th Period
Once again, Hannibal and Jonothon had their class meeting on the Causeway. This week they'd been told to dress for warmer weather, and to bring good hiking shoes, if they had them.
"Welcome back," Hannibal greeted them. "We can get to our trips again now that the island seems to have given up on...whatever that was last week."
He opened the large pack he had with him and passed out large bottles of water to everyone. "You will want to drink as much as you can. We will be visiting a high-altitude site, and this will help you adjust. Don't overexert yourself, and let us know if you're experiencing any ill effects."
//And you'll want to wear sunscreen,// Jono added, opening his own... rather less large pack. He hadn't been put on water bottle duty, it was fine. He handed out the little travel-sized bottles of sunscreen for the class to take. //Gets sunny up there.// A pause. //This week, we're going to Peru. Into the Andes. There are the ruins of an old citadel up there that a few of you from Earth might have heard of, and we're going to be doing a bit of exploring, there.//
"Machu Picchu," Hannibal said. "It has been designated a world heritage site for its extraordinary architecture and historical value. We'll be able to walk through the ruins, which have been partially reconstructed over the years, and there will be guides if you have questions. The local language is Spanish, but most will speak at least some English. If you need more, please ask." Because he spoke Spanish, too. Of course.

Re: Lecture!
"You know, if you were person-shaped right now, you could help me with this," she teased, bopping him on the nose with the sunscreen bottle. "Your loss, cowboy."
She was totally going to pack extra water for him. No dehydrated puppy boyfriends, thank you.
Re: Lecture!
Case in point, and his whine in response was mostly for dramatic effect, but there was pain in there from a very real place.
He'd get over it, though, because he was glad that, if he was going to miss most of his classes this week, at least the one he and Yang shared got to involve an adventure. He was sure going to be one pooped pupper by the end of this, though.
Worth it!
