¡Ay, que bonita es esta vida!

Ah, it´s so wonderful to see familiar faces. It´s been such a blast hanging out with Tiffany and Max. We´ve already been to Medellín, Bogotá, Cisneros and Caracoli (try to find that on a map!). In Caracoli we went rafting, which included lunch at this little restaurant in this little town in the middle of nowhere, but this nowhere was really beautiful. After I finished eating lunch, Max´s sister proceded to tell me how sick I was going to get from eating at this restaurant. Then we tried to organize 22 of Max´s family members and 2 gringas into 3 rafts and a kayak, which you can imagine how long that took. Just as we hit the water, these kids starting throwing rocks at us. Luckily no one was hurt. The rafting was great. Despite the water being full of vitimina-M (mierda), the scenery was gorgeous: gigantic trees, tropical flowers, and cool rocks. We had a guide, but after we crashed into a rock, Max did most of the stearing. Another boat also had a slight mis-hap and got a huge tear in the bottom of it. To get back to the starting point we road on these little carts on the old train track. The carts were powered by old motorcycles. It was awesome riding in the front through the jungle, wind blowing through my hair. It´s just so beautiful here.
