married
We're married! It was a perfect wedding. I've got tons of pictures and stories to share but right now there's a book and a pool waiting for me. So, I think I'll just post everything when we're back from our honeymoon. See you in two weeks!

Mrs. Straw I will miss you. You were and is the best teacher ever.
Mrs. Straw I love youuuuu! I'll miss you! BFForever and everr
Mrs. Straw thank you for this fantastical year you gave to us, you don't know how did you helped us in many ways. I hope your life becomes better at India and that your bride would become a total success. with love.

Ms. Straw, have a lucky wedding.
PS: I will never forget your crying when reading a book.
GOOD LUCK IN INDIA AND TAKE TOILET PAPER!!!

happy/sad
Today was the last day of school, which is great, I've been looking forward to it for a looong time. But it was pretty sad to say goodbye to the students. As you know from reading this blog, they're a hilarious group of kids and I'm really going to miss them and all their crazy ways.

San Lorenzo
Two weeks ago we headed east and up to San Lorenzo in the Sierra Nevadas. When we first started out I was convinced it was going to be a disastous trip, we sat at the head of the bridge leading out of town for over an hour waiting for a bus and once we finally got on the bus the stupid driver made us sit for another whole hour without moving because he was looking for some paperwork. Things got so ridiculous that the passengers rebeled, stomping and shaking and shouting for a few minutes until a big angry lady in the back led us on a group walkout where we all marched off the bus shaking our fists.
Eventually we made it to Santa Marta and then to Minca, a small town a little ways up the mountain where we stayed the night.
We stayed with some British teachers in Minca. They live in the coolest houses, all natural and open to the mountains around them. I think, though that they would be pretty hard to clean.
The next morning we piled into two trucks that took us three hours up the mountain. It was a pretty rough trip, we were crammed in and bouncing around everywhere, but halfway up we stopped at a small house where the owners sold homemade rasperry wine, which made things considerably more pleasant.
We also had some tiny bananas to eat along the way
After a long and bumpy climb we made it to our cabin where we found a fireplace, a fully stocked kitchen, bunkbeds and nice, cold fresh air. We spent the weekend hiking, reading and playing cards. It was a really nice time.
