JUNE in a nutshell

Alright so last time i posted was a while ago and I am sorry for that. I have been pretty dang busy. So canopy weekend was amazing. It wasnt so much zipline as aerial stunts, one might say. We climbed this one tree about maybe 60 or 70 feet and jumped off. It was hybrid rope that mixed regular with bungee rope so it was like a nice pleasant swing. Then there was a little zipline and tightrope walk. Then there was the rocketman which was pretty cool. One person is in harness on a platform,the rope loops around a branch maybe 50 feet high and everyone else holds the other end of the rope. On the count of three we all ran the opposite direction and the person in harness SHOT into the air. But by far the coolest one was where there was this tree that looked like a bunch of skinny trees woven together into the form of a big tree. and it was hollow with many many holes. We got to climb up the inside of this tree and all we could use were the natural holes the tree had! It was absolutely amazing. The climb was maybe 70 0r 80 feet and then we repelled down the outside. It was crazy. After canopy we all returned to my town of San Marcos and rented a few hotel rooms for the night and went to the dance. It was a great weekend.

The weekend after that was....oh ya! I went into cartago cuz i had a date with a girl named Daniella. It is about time yall know about her. I met her in May at one of the dances and we have seen eachother a few times and weve been talking but im only here for 3 weeks so like, it sucks. anyways so we went on a date then i went to pizza hut with a bunch of other AFSers and then we went out on the town for a lil. Saturday i went to a store with Alicia (mom) and my sister and her boyfriend. it was actually a house that sold to stores so everything was like warehouse price. I bought some good stuff. Then we went to our house in San Jose for the night. Sunday i went home. THen this last weekend was pretty cool too. (If you havent noticed i skip weeks cuz they are just boring) Friday i went camping with my class. It was great because it was the first time where i felt like one of them. I finally shattered the language barrier. Ive been chipping at it for a while, little by little ive gone pretty far, but friday was like taking down the berlin wall. We went to a beautiful place and it was a hilarious group. Then in the morning we took a walk and saw the tourism aspect and then bird watching. Then we went horsebackriding which was crazy. Since i have been horsebacking my fair share in my life so far i was comfortable on a horse, but i was in my hiking boots so the stirrups fit about an inch and a half of my boot. It was fine when i was trotting and walking, but then my horse starts cantering and my boots just flewww out of the stirrups so i had to straddle the horse using just pressure from my thighs. it was scary and crazy, but also kinda exhilarating not gonna lie. Got home saturday in time to get dressed and ready for the dance and went to Santa Maria and met up with Fausto and Koyak who are my two best friends here i can say with confidence. Met up with daniella and my other AFS friends at the dance. Sunday was a lazy sunday but Monday was Alicias birthday and she was in San Jose so I left for there with my sister arround 1 and missed school. We went out to dinner and stuff which was fun. TOday we missed the 930 bus so i ddint go to school again. haha Alicia and I just chilled at the bus station for like 3 hours. Mostly bagging on AFS. it is a pastime with us here.
