Yesterday was a big day to make up for the mishaps that was Thursday. I woke up Thursday physically still spent and found myself getting emotionally teary eyed at my somewhat harsh spanish instructor. I am going to go ahead and blame it on an allergic reaction.
Allergic reaction...yes that is right I woke up and it seems my arm and leg had ingested golf balls that were now protruding out of my body. Being a drama queen I kept envisioning that rare spider that would indefinitely find me... bite me and lay its eggs under my skin so that at a later date they could hatch out and infect the population of Canada. 'Swine Flu' will be yesterdays news 'Keira Arachniditis' coming soon.
As a result I didn't make it to surfing Thursday, instead, I found a pharmacy for some mystery cream. It seems to be working... so Canada can sleep easy tonight.
Friday, was a great day. We went to the market as a Spanish class and bought a table full of fresh fruit. It was riquisimo! Right after, I had an early yoga class followed right after by class numero dos and then surfing.
I was a little less nervous for surfing because I got up most times on Wednesday and missed Thursday. Yet alas I was mistaken, Rodriguo, hot Argentinian surf instructor, pulls me to the side for a little pep talk. 'We are going out today" "Out!!!" ahhhhhhh.... try everything once... try everything once... so I agree. We start paddling out... which is a tough ass workout... poor guy ended up pushing me and big blue (the board) from time to time.. so nice to be helpless. :)
I made it out and hung around a good long while. My first attempt ended in about a dozen somersaults under water... think drowning in a clothes washing machine, with your big pal 'blue.' I caught my breath only to loose it over and over again while I tried to make it past the break. I seriously, think I have consumed my yearly salt intake.
Round two I hung out in the sea this time taking it easy and then all of a sudden my hand starts stinging so I immediately lift it out of the water and for some reason rub it on my cheek which transfers the stinging. Next thing I know, this drama queen is wondering if she will now die not form spiders or drownings but jellyfish. Rodrigo, assures me not so. Apparently the jellyfish are tiny and their sting is as he says 'my kiss' and a great aphrodisiac. bahahha what a player... but a good one. We stayed out for an hour on the sea talking until I finally tried numero dos. This time I got up to my knees but had no upper body strength to get up. Ahh well apparently next time. ohhh Dear.
That night Rodrigo cooked BBQ for a bunch of us and I attempted to go out on the town but I am just not feeling this 'real world' party scene. I know surprising. I feel you need to send energy that 'my friends' don't think I am too lameo.
Today is Saturday, ziplined through the jungle, watched a surf competition and an amazing sunset. Laughed with Sean, my Arizona buddy. All day, no big deal.
Miss you lots

How much longer are you there? I may be able to add or lessen the load accordingly.
Ok as for the other stuff… Keira Arachniditis – that’s not cool…but yepee for the mystery cream!
I have questions about Rodriguo but I don’t know the CHV ratings for this blog.
Somersaults underwater – not good. Washing machine analogy – good.
Consuming your yearly salt take with one gulp is probably not the best thing, but no worries, the harsh Spanish teacher almost certainly make you cry it out.
Don’t die and ask your Spanish speaking friends if they know where you can get a CD of Manu Chao,

Ps…this is the last English posting your going to receive….
