Today we hiked in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains. The walk was beautiful but the best part by far is what we did when we got to our final destination. It was a beautiful creek and beaver-made dam. The damn made a nice little pool that we could swim in. Most of us got in. I tried to be the first one in but I couldn't take off my shoes fast enough so I was second. It was already hot as we were walking there and by the time we got there we were just burning so I figured getting in the water would be relaxing. What I didn't realize is that the water in this creek is freshly melted from the snow caps. In other words IT WAS COLD. Although it was cold the blazing heat of the sun made it all okay. The instructor said the water was clean and it tasted AMAZING so I drank a bunch. I now realize that this was a bad decision on my part. Overall it was incredibly fun. By the time we got home we were both so incredibly tired that we just sat around until dinner and after dinner we continued sitting.
Today for the first time the home-sickness hit me. I cannot wait to take a long shower, sleep in my bed, watch American T.V., see Transformers in English and last but not least eat some In 'N' Out. Dad this means that on our way home from LAX we get to stop at an In N Out. I need me a burger. Spanish Burger King doesn't cut it. Well I'm going to go to bed. I'll post more later.
