They are all things I have jumped off!!!!
Thats right. I have officially jumped off a cliff. I am SOO happy! That is one things that gets crossed right off that Life To-Do List 😊 It was so wicked. Thats why it gets first billing in the blog. It was probably a little higher than a the top of a 2 story house. You have to climb up the side, which is just rock, and its basically straight up so you have to kind of climb diagonal. While I was climbing, you know what I was thinking ? Thank god for Twister. No joke. That's actually what was running through my head, as my leg was up by waist and my arms were crossed over each other gripping anywhere they could find. Anyway, I saw one of the guys do it and I really wanted to, but neither Diana or Olivia would so I went with the guy and he showed me how to do it. And yes, don't worry everyone, I DID check to see if there were rocks at the bottom and how deep it was. All was well. I only have a scratch on my foot from
climbing. Anyway, Jonathon had to jump off first (actually its really more of a run...), and then it took me about 4 tries to actually go over the edge. Terrifyingly high once you get up tehre but an amazing adrenelin rush. i heart adrenalin !
I went with 2 of my classmates, Olivia and Diana to Majahuitas (officially THEE most gorgeous beach I have EVER been to, EVER) on a church youth group excursion, which was amazing. There were 'mas o menos' (
mahs o may-nOs; more or less) 20 people, all from Diana's church. We started at one of the people's house, which was ginormous, ps. It had a pool, with a little slide, giant outdoor gazebo/kitchen, big covered living room thingy, basketball court, and soccer field. PLUS it was on a canal, where they kept their yatch. So we took the boat to Majahuitas (it's the only way to get there, which makes it awesome in itself. We just swam around, took the little kayak they had out around the water, played volleyball, had food, played soccer, got a nice little tan and even more freckles (no burn, THANK you very much, hah), and had an awesome day.

The view from the most gorgeous and relaxing beach in the world. As I was laying on the front of the boat on the way back, it was still really warm out, and I was just laying there with diana and olivia, and watching the super plush green mountains go by, and thinking, I don't think it gets any better than this...
Today was a nice day with my family. We went to the zoo, which was ok, other than it was pouring rain, and we kept walking because we were looking for a certain building, and I was wearing white pants, ...soooo. hahha. Anyway. We went to a little restaurant here in Vallarta, and that was nice, minus the family that epitomizes the absolute conotation that comes with AMERICAN: so loud, rude to the waiters, throwing food (no lie, and it was about 6 adults and 6 kids), cursing, being drunk.... it was awful. I felt so bad for the waiters. But I betcha they spit in their food. haha. Actually thats gross, but, really now. No need to complain about the size of the beer when you are obviously already drunk enough for 4:30 on a sunday afternoon.
I go to Guadalajara on thursday, then on to Mazatlan
on friday, until Sunday night, then I'm in Guadalajara until Wednesday. I'm really looking forward to this, because Mazatlan is the conference for the rest of the excahnge students in the district. It's going to be a blast!!
That's enough for now I think, so... hasta lluego y'all!
(PS, I cant wait to upload some of the pics I have , and Im working on it now so expect them soon!)

Glad you told me after the fact
Hi I am glad that you can cross that off your list. And just as we discussed prior to you leaving, do then tell, seems to be working. Have more memorable days.
