Week 6

This week was slightly better than last having a flat out weekend. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were usual and on Thursday we tried some Indian food. Friday I went to karate and afterwards we spent all night packing for the weekend. On this weekend I was going camping with my CAP class out into the wilderness while Mum and Dad went snow shoeing with CITEL (Colorado International Teachers Exchange League). Apparently they went for a long hike snow shoeing up Rocky Mountain National Park. And afterwards had chili and elk food at somebody's house. On Sunday they just spent their time lazing around watching the tennis finals. Meanwhile back at man vs. wild camp trip we all took a mini-bus up to a lake where we went snownshoeing and built a quinzee (snow shelter). That was really fun, but what was more fun was making them collapse. I had peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch. We then continued on to our camping grounds (where they'd booked a cabin). All the boys (except one who was sick) slept in tents along with two girls in other ones. That night we had turkey dogs. And then a second course of quinoa (cous-cous/rice). We also managed to go for a hike at 11:00p.m. We went to sleep and came back to the cabin in the morning for breakfast, which was turkey bacon. We then had matte (Argentinian tea) to sooth the soul and afterwards played some games. Upon completion of the games lunch was served and happened to be my first taste sensation of mac 'n' cheese. Perhaps not my favourite dish. That concluded the tour as we packed up and headed back to school. Everyone's parents but mine were there to pick them up, so I had to catch the bus which required an hour of patience. I think I'll sleep well tonight.
