Hey lovely lady,
How are you? So, I've got a few
crazy stories for you. See below...
~ Firstly, every person
whom I've asked 'When is your birthday?', the response has always been
'Tomorrow'. No lie.
~ The most
fascinating conversation occurred between myself and the woman working at
the nearest convenient store—she, being Chinese and I, American, both speaking
to each other in our broken Spanish. We both seemed to affectively
butcher the language something horrible and I'm still not quite sure if we
understood a word of each other. These are times when a smile goes a long way.
~ Meghan and I hiked up and down this HUGE
mountain for about five hours (Pics to follow of this awesome journey. FYI...we are covered in dirt in most of these photos. You've been warned)
~ There's no cure to minor food poisoning like cotton candy and rum raison ice-cream. Ask me how I know. ;-)
Any who, I've attached the photos from my outings thus far. And yes, I agree that a skype date is mandated for near future communication. Miss you, girlie! <3

Hey girl! Seems like you are having a BLAST! So jealous. That parade seemed a lot of fun; I feel that every other country always has a billion parades whenever it is warm. Even if there is no excuse, but just to have a party. I went to an international school when I studied abroad and actually thought it was easier to speak with them, because we butchered the language the same and spoke in a baby language, lol. Well continue with the fun and stay safe. I wish my classes would skype with you guys. <3 Alex
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are absolutely amazing, it looks like you are having the time of your life! I am so glad that you and Meghan are getting a chance to explore a bit! The story you told about getting caught in the rain in the rain forest sounds amazing, and unlike anything else in the world. I can't wait until you're back to hear more! Be safe, miss you!!
