primera clase de espanol

And Yesterday was my first day if spanish class. This place is "very easy to find" so i walked up 6 de agosto, trying to avoid walking in front of the college because a lot of thieves wait in the front to jack peoples laptops. They dont usually hurt people...just take your bag. I was instru ted to carry my bag in front of my body... backpack backwards was best. "Walk with your shoulders back and act like you know where you are going." Okay... doesnt this sound sort of shady? All i could think about was that my dad wouldnt even let me walk more than 1 block without my sister. Lol! Well... sink or swim. We all know i am no sheep. So i left and walked.. and walked and walked way to far. I passed a caucasion couple the wife clinging to her husband and totally looked lost... it made me deel better. Once i realized i went too far i crossed the street to back track... and guess who i saw?! Yup the same couple but now they are holding a map looking around. All i could do was grit my teeth and move on. I knew i was in the right area but there arent too many street signs. I found a nice marbel building to ask a man for directions. Again... i smiled and nodded and just continued in the direction he was pointing. I then decided to go up and down the side streets because I was sooo close. I then found a street sign... I was stoked! I snuck a peak at my map and I was only 2 streets away. Awesome! I finally found it. I walked it the office... parasthesias to my fingers toes and crown. Such an odd feeling. Thoh light headed as well... then I had a test. It wasawesome. I

guess its sink or swim

0Hola mi familia y mi amigos! I made it to La Paz without any problems. I only got ripped off once in Columbia purchasing a tiny pocket side ingles/espanol. I could even say that I was an easy target. Still not sure what the conversion rate is but I know it's not the same. I met a nice guy who was my waiter in the colombia airport who was trying to help me. He was super sweet (matt he was super old) but very sweet. He was asking about my travels... I just smiled and nodded. He said "feliz" a lot so I just smiled because I knew it was good stuff and said mucho gusto oh uh I mean muchas gracias muchas gracias senor! When I got to the La Paz airport I had to go through customs and the guard was yelling presion "something" presion "something" .... I figured out he was saying press the button.. if the light turned green then I was an unlucky person that got a random baggage check. I was good.. because I just kept walking and didn't get tackled. I traded currency I traded some money... its 1 dollar to 6.9

My dad's "world traveler"

Here I go... just waiting at sfo and trying to figure this blog situation out. Matt brought me to the airport and saw me off. Man am I going to miss that guy. I love you baby! Thank you for being so great. I will not be a sheep...I got this lovey. My first dent at saving the world. It's pretty amazing. I'm not sure I can upload pics from my phone...
