Caro spent the night at my house and then we went to school the next day. The following day was a normal school day as well, and after school Mau (my little brother) and I went to the gym and worked out. The following day we went to school, then home to, eat and then to an inter-school dance competition! It was pretty cool and I got to see some friends from other schools. The next day I was told at 5am that we didn't have school due to dangerous winds, then at 7, my host mom said that we DID have school. So we showered and went late. After school Caro and I went to a friend, Daniela's house. We had lunch with her and her family and then we went to the school soccer game. After I went out to a little club with Caro and some friends from Valla.
On Saturday I went to Kike's house and we talked for a while before we went to one of our best friend's birthday lunch. We stayed there until 10pm then I went home and talked with Mariana. Then on Sunday we went to chruch and then to the mall the whole day. On Monday I paid for part if my Ruta Maya trip (trip around Mexico with Rotary). Then we ate lunch with some friends at the mall, and then I went to basketball practice from 4:30 to 6:30. The following day Caro got sick, so we got to go home at 11. Later I went to basketball practice and then I called some people from my local rotary because I wanted to see if I was allowed to go to Ixtapa for my best friend's birthday party! The next day I found out that I was allowed to go to Ixtapa so I was super happy, and after Basketball practice Caro and I started working on Kike's birthday present! The next day was tough, Aurore (from France)'s friend had died in France and she wanted to go back but they wouldn't let her-we tried to tell her that it is better to be here, but it is really tough on her. We had a little funeral here in school for her friend and we talked with her and gave her all of our support. After school Mariana, Simon, Mauricio (my host dad), and I ate shrimp tacos. Then I went with Kike, Andrea Tapia, and Pedro (friends from another school) to get the food for the trip to Ixtapa.
Friday I went to school with all of my clothes for Ixtapa. After I went with Laurisa, Judas, Karla, Bienvenido, Fedee, and Qiqe to eat before the trip. Then we all met at Kike's house and piled into the cars and we were on our way. When we arrived Kike's Mom's boyfriend bought us pizza. Then we went to our apartment, WHICH WAS HUGE and had a hot tub on the balcony!! It was amazing! We stayed up all night dancing and hanging out in the jacuzzi. Saturday was Kike's actual birthday, and we spent the WHOLE morning and afternoon on the beach and in the ocean. Then we went up to the apartment to eat then we went back down and went on the banana. It is a long tube type thing that is pulled behind the boat, and it is even crazier than the doughnut in Tzintzuntzan because the ocean is a whole lot choppier. So Kike, Marta, and I were the last three on the banana(which is the part with the most control, but the first part to fall off). So then Kike, Marta, and I were jumping and then we decided to lean one way and well ALL fell off. After as we tried to climb back on we tipped it over AGAIN. After falling a couple more times, Kike said I needed to lean MORE to one said so then he said "to the right!" and I leaned extra far and ONLY I fell off! They found this absolutely hilarious! After we met Kike's older sisters and then we went up to the apartment to eat dinner and sleep before going to a salsa club. We danced and had a lot of fun, I even got some salsa lessons!! On Sunday we left for Morelia and Mariana picked me up at Kike's house. I was really tired because we basically didn't sleep the whole weekend, I think I slept 5 hours!!
Despite being SUPER tired I still went to school Monday and to basketball to 2 hours of basketball. Tuesday I was still tired but I made it through school. Then I went to basketball and then Caro and I finished the present for Kike. On Wednesday I the whole family had lunch together at my house and then I went to basketball practice. On Thursday, Caro and I went to Tec (Kike's school) to give him his present. He loved it and we ended up talking for an hour, before we left to go eat. After lunch I changed and went to basketball practice (saying goodbye to Caro because she was going to the United States with my first host family). At basketball we practiced for an hour then we had a game for two hours. On the way home we drove past a caravan promoting a circus and I got to be literally a foot away from tigers, zebras, camels, and buffalo!!
The title is a saying from my house, it means turn on the bomb! I know that sounds bad, but it means that the water is low and so we need to turn it on downstairs and once you do that it shoots the water up just like a bomb! I'm still not sure if I want to shout that out at 6am, but we'll see!
