Domingo, June 3 San Luis Catarata

WOW, the hardest walk of my life. I thought I was going to die. I woke up in Anibal´s house because we spent the nite there because we went out and were gettin up early to head to the Catarata (waterfall). Asia and Anibal came into my room but because I didn´t sleep in PJ pants I didn´t get out of bed. Later,Asia was like I wondered why didn´t you get up, I laughed and told her why. So I got to hold Anibals nephew and play with Fabion (his other nephew).Then we took a taxi to the Institute. On the way to his house the night before we took 2 taxis and one to the bar. Anyways...Saturday morning we met and started towards the waterfall. The road was totally downhill for a long ass while. I thought that was a good thing but no you have to walk in a way to keep from falling and so my shins and knees killed. One point, Cameron climbed down- I don´t know how he survived it. So we all walked on the road, it was horribly steep and I dind´t want to think about the walk back. Once we got to the falls there was about an hour walk through trails to get to the place to swim, it was uphill most of the way. Real rocky too, I got super tired and didn´t know if I could make it. One part you had to climb down a cliff of sorts but there was a rubber rope thing. I was impressed I did it. Once we finally got there, we were wet from walking through streams. I got in as soon as I could get out of my boots and pants. I already had my shirt off because it was so bloody hot and my swimsuit was on. So the water was icecold. And I was freezing, but it felt good so I did not care at all. The water pressure was insane. It was so pretty, I felt like I was finally in the jungle. We stayed and swam and ate but then it started pouring so we started back. On the way back out there was like 5 people who went ahead and others who followed. It was me Tracee, Cameron, Kameron,and Asia.Dan was ahead of us but dropped way back and I dont remember when. So we all walked. Cameron was being nice and waited for us. It was so slippery from the wet rocks, I am surprise I didn´t fall and break anything. We got out of the trail and back on the road and started walking. We stopped at this place that was a ¨guest house¨but really just a tin roof pavilion. We ate a pineapple there then more walking. UPhill. Cameron got on the back of some truck and hung by the wheel on the back of it. Fucker...haha jk. Finally we came to this lil resort looking thing that was the University of Georgia station. It was sweet way better than our wood school house looking thing. We got some coffee and decided to call cabs because the walk would take 3 hours back and it was slippery as hell. I saw this guy we met the night before (in the taxi)he was from England and we chatted it up a lil. Then we took taxi´s and came to the institute to hang out. I was sopping wet, my shoes were squishing water and it was misserably cold. We all left about 6 and I went home showerd and said yes I am hungry as soon as she asked. My mom made potatoes, broccoli and white rice. Ehh...not exactly what I was expecting. Where are these damn beans they speak of? Then me and Josue and Estephania played uno with her mom´s friend. I won the first time. Then Josue was compètitive with me and we joked a lot. I call him Friolito which is a popular soap opera here and his favorite show, he hates being called that. He started calling me friasta or something which means little strawberry but then just stuck with Strawberry shortcake the rest of the nite. We make faces at each other and then started making random animal noises, all the ones I knew of and more. I went to bed after a while and planned to sleep in. oh remind me when I get back to make trail mix, Cameron bascially thats all he eats here and I finally tried it and it´s amazing. After eating no meat at my homestay I might be like him by my return and it not it´s still a good snack. Well I´m outtie, until next blog...
