thriller





just got home! this weekend was incredible. we went up to Uspallta which is an area in the mountains. cannot explain to you how beautiful it was...the pictures dont do it any justice.

so we thought we would be riding those little vans out to the mountains like we have been riding, but we pull up to the plaza and theres a big double decker charter bus. the downstairs is full of black leather recliner chairs with a plasma screen tv. and the upstairs was recliner chairs (bus carpet material) with fold out foot rests. and the front row looks out the huge front window. needless to say, it was very easy to sleep the whole way there. it was about a 2 hour ride. so, dr. supplee told us to layer up cause last year they were hiking through 4 feet of snow. so we all had on about 3 or 4 layers of clothes top and bottom....it was about 75 degrees haha... so we all stripped down and hiked for 3 and a half hours. hence my cool outfit. Half way into it, we all popped in our ipods and enjoyed the hike. It was the most relaxing/exuberating feeling hiking through the most beautiful mountains and listening to music. after the hike, we all came back to the hotel and took naps/showers then ate dinner!







view from the bus:











we all stayed up pretty late at the hotel then got up this morning and went to breakfast around 9...then got on the bus at 10 to go on a 30 minute hike and then we went rockclimbing and repelling and ziplining...SO MUCH FUN! then came back to the hotel, ate lunch, took a nap and headed home! none of us wanted to leave!







once we got home, we realized how much homework we had for tomorrow blaaahhhh and so brett and rue and i just finished working on it. actually rue's 13 year old brother did it and we copied haha

sorry this wasn't all that detailed! i'm so tired and worn out and don't feel like typing stories haha but you will hear them eventually i'm sure!

but noooww i am going to bed..buenos noches!!
CHAU

  1. ju - i'm so sorry you aren't having a good time in argentina. i had a feeling it would be really hard for you. don't worry, it will be over soon.

    the mountain pics remind me of the movie ALIVE. did you get hungry when you were up there?
