Back from Vacation... almost

Oh how I love vacations at the beach, and really just vacations in general, but especially when you plan vacations to climb volcanoes! There is a volcanoe very close to where i live (and by that i mean 5 or so hours in bus) that I and a few of my friends were planning on climbing this past weekend. This place is beautiful. It has a lake in the crater! Exotic species of birds, and breathtaking views. But none of this i know from seeing it in person, because i got sick. Yes, you heard me right. I was sick. I got sick the day before the trip and therefore missed this amazing adventure with all of my friends. But they had a good time. I´m planning to do the trip again one day soon, maybe in december. But i just had to share my good fortune with all of you. Oh, and not to mention the fact that i had to pay $30! yes, that´s right, $30 and i lost it all! Now i´m broke from that, and paying medical expenses, and angry that I missed such an amazing trip. But I suppose the positive way of looking at this is that I didn´t have to sleep in a tent on the beach in the rain for 2 nights in a row. AND that i got sick before the trip and not during bc that would have been a whole lot worse!
take care all, stay away from amoebas... they are not fun! will try to write again soon, probably next month.
