buenos tardes, muchachos.

This morning Cayman and I got up to go milk the cows with Ontonio, but he was already done by 6:08! He said they didn't have a lot of milk this morning, and to try back at 3 for the afternoon milking. I was so bummed. Then we went through the botanical garden in search of some animales, but had no luck with that either. So we ended up at the student union on our laptops until they served us breakfast. I think this morning was the best breakfast yet. They served us these crazy huevos that were like fried eggs in a bowl in this orange sauce that were so so delicious, and rice and beans with the salsa verde, fresh frutas, tortillas with sour cream and salt, and coffee. Oh my gosh I just went to town it was so good. After breakfast was Environmental Sociology with Dean, my main squeeze. Today we talked about why the heck our population is so outrageously huge and about our carbon footprints and offsetting those. Good stuff. Dean's carbon footprint is 12 earths! He makes me feel good about my life. At 10:30 we met for English class. We read like 50 poems today and did this exercise where we had 10 minutes to write a 10-line poem using a certain phrase and 5 words from a given list. I did not perform well under the pressure, but whatever. Tonight we have to write 3 or more haikus so hopefully I don't screw those up too.We just had a delicious lunch of rice and beans and salsa verde, salad, veggies, beef (eh.. not so much on the beef for me) and warm banana bread. Seriously I cannot get enough of that stuff. It's amazing. I also had more coffee. I am averaging at like 4 cups a day I think... but it's okay because their coffee is half-caff. So no worries.

I drink tap water here. It's really delicious because it's legit mountain spring water fresh out of the spring. So go me.

The sky was so incredibly blue this morning when we got up. It's usually so cloudy, but today it was just gorgeous. Now, of course, it's raining, but the sunshine was nice while it lasted.

I wore socks in class today because I am wearing my sweet hiking boots, and Dean was rather taken aback. I feel I should stay barefoot for his sake.

Tomorrow night we have our first dance lessons with Geovanny and I am SO excited! We are going to learn to do all these different dances and it will just increase my hardcoreness all the more. I can't wait.

Then Friday after dinner Tia and Sarah #2 aka cheesecake are going to give a rugby workshop so that we will understand what the heck they are talking about when they go into rugby mode in conversation. Then maybe we will go out on the town. Who knows. I have a feeling things are about to get crazy, though.

Okay time for spanish class. Later.

peace love and crazy huevos.
