so. now i feel like writing!
my trip was perfect
honestly.
my junior year has been so stressful, with my hard classes and busy schedule and the constant ache in my heart through out all of that
so, what was more perfect than to get away?
let me tell you, getting away has a lot of thinking time
i thought about EVERYthing that has happened to me for like, my whole life
intense right?
how is it possible to learn about yourself just by thinking about your past?
anyways
so trip time!
the first day we drove to las vegas
bleh it was boring
but we went to this amazing place called N.Y. pizza and pasta
seriously, if any of you are in las vegas and want to go somewhere other than mickey d's, then go to this place. it was amazing
the next day was spent in airports slash airplanes
i kind of hate flying
finally, we made it to mexico
it felt surreal.
it is so beautiful there.
the first whole day we spent chilling by the pool and drinking pinatas
the next morning i went running on the beach
everything was going great until i spotted a tiny baby pufferfish in the sand
i thought it was going to die
so i ripped my running shoes off and ran into the water, because i refused to throw it into the water
i dont even know if it lived or not
but i did spend a good 5 minutes bawling about it
who knows why
after that wonderful scene, we went to another beach
the beach by our hotel had waves that were too big to swim in
so we swam in this ocean!
that night we went to this delicious place called the hangman
it was ghetto and kind of scary, but the food was amazing
after that, we went to san jose to go shopping!
its so much fun to barter and getting prices down low
i got this reeaally gorgeous green necklace
my brother thought he was super funny because he kept calling me brave all day
you know, like this
(cause my hair was poofy and red)
ha.ha.
the next day was ziplining!
i was sooo excited to go
i got up at 5 in the morning
and threw up
because i had food poisoning
yeah.
i slept from 11 p.m. to 4 p.m.
thats a LOT of sleep
i finally made my way down for the bbq, where i feasted on roasted veggies
i also talked down a bracelet from 90$ to 2 for 60$
skills
the next day we went horse back riding on la playa
we passed this house out in the middle of nowhere
there were actually people living in it
i would never be able to do that
orem is almost too sleepy for me
one day i will move to a huge, bustling city with a million people in it
anyways
the dog was a teenager
his feet were wayy to big for his body
it was muy divertido
that night we had a photo shoot on the beach!
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
okay
monday was our last full day
sadness
in the morning we painted ceramic figurines
mine was a fish!
we went to medano beach
it was my favorite
the beach is filled with people and vendors and all kinds of activity
i also went parasailing
it was really fun!
and not scary at all (:
after the beach, i got a henna!
thenn we went to dinner for the final time
it was a place called las guacamayas
or the parrots
mmmm
they have the most delicious lemonade of all time
and it was huge!
at the restaurant there was this dude playing music on his guitar
he played this song that adam always used to play me
i had some intense deja vu
crazy stuff man
the next day we hit the beach one last time
thats me going AWWW
we found this guy on the beach
that right there is a look of pure happiness
then, we had our last drinks
(miami vices)
then we packed up and headed home :(
in the airport we got amazing fries
YUM
it was real weird to be home!
p.s.
look at how different i look three years later!
the past 3 days i have been at youth conference
blehh
i hate dress codes
oh! on thursday night i went night swimming with megan at jesses house
it was super fun (:
i love going there!
also, i ran twice this week
