Well I thought it would be a great idea just to let you all know that I am in fact alive and well... and in the UNITED STATES!!! With English speaking people!!!!! Crazy I know!! There is so SO much to tell. The first being that I've literally had no time to write because after jungle week we had to pack and say goodbye and all that stuff. THEN, as soon as I got back I had to start work again... and I was too tired to write anything. Mi mal. :P So I figured I'd give you little snippets of jungle week whenever I had time this week. Sound good? Great!
What first? Well we finished our last week of classes with our wonderful teacher Yasmina, sad time for all of us, and then made our way into the jungle. I've just gotta say, I appreciate moms so much more now. I was in charge of the meals for jungle week and let me tell you, it's something else getting a meal ready on a firepitish stove. But that's moving too far into the story. Getting back to the meals. Right before we left Max and John had gone past a steak place and tried some of the steak which they said was delicious. WELL, I thought that they had actually gone in and had some to which I was extremely put out. I mean, Max and I had said sooo many times how much we love steak and wanted it... AND THEY WENT WITHOUT ME!!!! I mean come on! This was the cause for some grudging am I right? Well I then found out that while I had been holding a grudge on them for a day they actually had only had a sample. Talk about humiliating. Anyways, after that John said that we would have to try to go to it when we got back from the jungle.
I got to the store and was trying to figure out numbers when John gave me one and said "Ok. This is the number for this week... but if you stay below THIS number then we can go to the steak place." To which I was like Heck Yes! So as I'm shopping I'm literally praying "God please help me to stay below this number!" I mean it's steak we're talking about people! And pesos are a ton harder to figure out than dollars! Praise God I got to the front and I was right on the money! BOOM ROASTED!!! Steak here we come!!... in about a week. :P
We loaded up all our supplies and off into the wild blue yonder we went. Without translators... all... on... our... own. Talk about needing to rely on God! Well there it is. The little snippet I promised! I'll write more when I've got time. For now... look forward to more. You never know when it'll be!
