MEXICO...WOW
alright, im back from mexico...it was one of the most unbelievable experiences i have ever been through...ive seen pictures and stuff from the trips people have been on before, but until you actually go for yourself and see it first hand, you have no idea...the first time i stepped out of the van and got to look around was something i will never forget...i cant really put into words what i felt...i guess the closest word to describe it would be amazing....it was crazy to think that people lived in "houses" made of cardboard, and ran around the whole day in dirt and gravel with out shoes...unbelievable...so our first two full days down there we worked on the house we were building...then late in the second day i ended up playing with angela and these two little mexican girls that had been hanging around watching us...i seriously played with them for two hours just running around and letting them crawl on me in the dirt...it was probably my favorite part of the trip...so the next day we went to an orphanage and played with the kids there...it was amazing to see how much they enjoyed people coming to see them and how happy they were regardless of their situation...after that we shopped a bit in this little market area and i bought a couple little things....then that night we went to a mexican church...that was nuts...there were crazy things that happened that ive never seen before...the next day we drove to disneyland in LA...it was pretty fun...pirates of the carribean was definately not as good as i remember it being when i went as a 7 year old, but splash mountain made up for it...so we left disneyland and got to our hotel at 1 am only to find out that they had given our rooms away...so we had to sit in the parking lot for an hour before they decided that they would find us another hotel and pay for it...so we got there at 3 and i ended up staying up till 5 talking...the next mornin we got up at 9 for church, but found out that one of the girls that was with us had a seizure that morning, so she had to go to the hospital...so we all went to church and then went to pick her up and made our 3 hour drive down to san diego to catch our flight....so i finally got home at like 1 am on monday morning...angela spent the night and we went to dinner and got coffee down in oly last night and ended up seeing this guy get beat up by 15 guys cuz he tried to hit a pregnant lady...it was crazy...but it was nice to be able to just sit and talk with angela for like 2 hours on a park bench about everything...i love u boo...so anywho, that is the week in review...cristina, i think me and brett are probably gonna drive down for the stanford/uw game, so lemme know if u think it'll be ok if we stay with u for a night...so yeeah...angela is on her way up, so i need to shower...sooo peace out
