Matecanas Camping

Um so, I just realized that I havent written about my marvelous trip to Monterrey. Sorry for the delay, I'll write about it even if I wont get much comments. (HINT)

First week we arive at Rescate and take off to this radical camping trip. I know a few people who didnt expect such EXTREMITY, and some who were totally expecting it and were so suave about it (nice). So it was quite entertaining to see some freaking out over little things, and some totally chilled out about the situation. Me...? well lets just say Joanie was a boarder liner...(right Hopie? tee hee).

Basically...we took a long 2 hour bumpy ride to a little place to park our cars, took all our bedding and tents and HIKED with them for around 15 minutes to our nature-spot. We arived there to see this awesome lake that we were expecting to be "sparkling blue", like they said it was, but due to some random fires, the ashes made the water look alittle merky. (eeeee!) So PTL, it was good to see some cold water anyways, just to dive into after all that sweatin from hiking and pitching tent.

Joanie forgets to put sun block on and gets a nasty burn, (please NOTE; my red back DID NOT come from tanning!!!! it came from not putting ANY lotion on...thank you!) So it's pretty much radical from then on for two days, but it was great fun non-the-less.

Hopie was my toilet-partner, as DISGUSTING as that sounds... you DO NOT want to go to their man-made bathroom on your own, it's like a night-mare!!! I would have taken a photo of the toilet, but...i couldnt find that camera. Anyways, I dunno why Im talking about the toilet...i guess its cuz I never used sucha AMAZING peice of man-creation in my life. Hopie was also my tanning partner and cold-water-dipping partner. Basically, Hopie was always there for me during the weirdest moments... thanks girl! (green penis? hahaha)

So, since there were no bathrooms, sinks, or showers; we all had some interesting experiences. Our only source of water was from the lake, please NOTE: never brush ur teeth down stream, go UP stream or else you wont be washing ur mouth out with clean water...!!!! (YAACK) The showering, Hopie brought her little body spung that was more than handy, but NO one (let me repeat) NO ONE brought conditioner!!! Our hair was like HAY!!!! It was pretty nasty. All the girls were being mean to be for bringing my make-up remover, two bottles of insect spray, my face wash, my apricot scrub, cotton for the make-up remover, hair-spray, and body spray instead of bringing other neccesities. When actually, ALL of the above were used, not only by me, BUT THE BOYS TOO!!! (haaa, take THAT!)

I got to spend my sleepy times with Mindy, Hopie, Melanie, and Michelle. As stupid as Joanie felt when she only brought a thin blanket and pink pillow and all the girls would laugh on how stupid I was in not being prepared WHATSOEVER, I still had fun!! Yes, funny thing about the sleeping was that...our tent was located on a certain SLANT, so before we would go to sleep....our heads would be touching one end of the tent, but in the morning we ALL slipped (yes, correct word) down to the bottom to where our feet would be touching the other end of the tent. (or should we say, 'Michelle') Hee hee, it was pretty magical! Then there would be random people flying 1 mile off towards the sunset, due to tripping on our tent strings, with the sounds of "ahhhhhh" putting us to sleep. (nice!) And let me repeat, it was great fun!

During the days it was pretty much DIY situation, which is pretty fun to have when theres cool people to chill out with, refreshing water to bathe in, and a cute little spot to tan on. Yes, lets go back to the "cool people to chill out with"...have you ever met the Saltillo boys? My goshness, if you ever want to have fun they're the DUDES! hahah, SO funny. (ey?) Miss those guys.

Anyways, that was camping in the wilderness for 3 days and 2 nights for ya in a nutshell. I'll write more later if I get the time.

Te amo muchisimo!
(Thank you Mindy, for the fotos. Now for Juliet...)
