Speaking of euphoria, check out how last weekend went:
Christie and me with our baby goat leg (pierna). It was delicious, btw. Three hours later, we were singing karaoke...in Spanish. Life goal #78 checked off.

We take a rusty long red van every weekend with our tour guide Chacho. He is a biker who motorcycles to Wisconsin once a year from Mexico...he also likes to Salsa. We dog pile into a van (12 of us or so) and listen to mariachi Latina music through a stations of static as we speed through tiny streets, busy streets, streets that shouldn't be streets. 
We stopped at this little village (I'm mad I can't remember the name) on on the way to Cola de Coballo. Lots of churches. Chacho said that in Mexico many catholics call themselves Catolica lite, haha.
El Cola de Coballo (Horsetail) Cascadas. They were beautiful, and naturally, there were horses jaunting around. But THEN we took a little trip next door and saw bungee jumping. If you're curious, of course I did it, I'm in Mexico. No, I did not pee my pants, but I did ask the lady if my strap was tight enough about 43 times.
Woooosh.

ncredible. I jumped backwards so for seconds all i could see was the sky sky sky skyyyy and then BAM trees rose into my vision and got close and closer to my face and then just like that, I was snapped back up. Incredible incredible incredible. I highly recommend it.

Incredible incredible incredible. I highly recommend it.Yesterday we went to Las Grutas de García. Really cool caves, you would have liked them mom. We had to take a sketchy sky ride up to the top in a tiny car with about 60 people. It was definitely the sixth time I've
almost died in Mexico, if I count the rusty carnival ride. The view from the top was beautiful though, and so were the caves. Of course the tour was the usual "See that rock over there? That's a giant gorilla, and over he
re...the rock that looks ridiculously similar, that's Mary and Joseph having a cookout." Nonetheless, I appreciated it (thanks for instilling some earthy appreciation, Ma).
I really need to write more about classes and my service learning project, but that is going to be done later this week. I have to post a debate about some issue I feel strongly about...in Spanish...mmm sounds broad. So yes, in a few days you will have the information that matters haha like culture, what I'm learning,
and the like. Before I go, I'd like to add that I am now friends with the entire Football (American) team on campus. Damn it! So much for leaving the United States. Oh yea, They all have massive heads.
Ok, Hasta Luego,
