almost done with this program!

i went to a big waterfall on saturday that i don't remember the name of but it's in san luis.  and i get mesmerized by water so it was fun.  it was just patty and i.  the day started with me walking from the institute to canitas (still don't know how to tilda) to be back in time for painting the casa clup.  there ended up being more ppl than brushes so i was sent to the cement area.  then i mixed cement and handed buckets of it to the guy to pour it.  it was ok.  kinda tiring.  i later found out i wasn't supposed to mix cement but whatever.  then a bunch of us hung around until everyone had lunch and was ready to go.  it ended up just being patty and i.  we walked to santa elena and caught a taxi then hiked up through a farm (had to pay to go through private property) then hiked some more (like an obstacle course really) and finally got to the waterfall.  SO PRETTY!  i love monteverde and the surrounding areas.  then we head back and go for dinner with a buch of the others.  but morphos double booked the reservation and we ended up waiting an hour.  so our drinks were comped.  then there was a club that's only open that one night so we went there.  it was ok but every song that wasn't salsa was interupted 10 seconds into it.  irritated me.  i was tired so i went back early with patty on the back of a pick up.  which was interesting. 
sunday i went to gaudy's farm and went horseback riding with a bunch of other ppl and her son.  it was fun.  we rode along the continental divide.  then we all watched spiderman 2 bootlegged b/c there's a dvd place here that rents out bootlegged movies.  hehe.. 
oh!  last week, i went to a dairy farm (gaudy's) and a pig farm.  at the dairy farm, i had a sip of fresh milk and a shot of vodka (tastes like bailey's) and at the pig farm, i petted a baby pig (which will someday be my dinner).  the next morning, i told my host family all about the farms and confused them all when i kept saying knife farm instead of pig farm.  boo...  i hate being retarded in spanish. 
tomorrow my group starts focus groups!  yay!
