Happy Thanksgiving!

(11/28/11)

It was a six hour bus, fairy, bus ride so when we arrived in Montezuma, we found our hotel, checked in, and looked for a place to eat. We found a little Italian place that half the group thought was too expensive, but we decided to go anyway and got the deal of the day. It was a yummy cheese personal pizza and an amazing mango smoothie for only 1500 calones or about 3 dollars. Can you say steal? And it was sooooo good.

After that we laid on the beach for a little, jumped in the pool overlooking the ocean for a little then got ready for dinner.

Thanks to two guys, Thanksgiving was saved. Turkeys were cook and potatoes were mashed. We all came together for a big group dinner and it felt, for at least a little bit, like we weren’t so far away from home.

 In Montezuma, half of the group stayed at a hotel while the other half rented a house. The hotel (where I am staying) is absolutely beautiful; Right off the ocean with a swimming pool and a view to die for. It is also right next to town, which isn’t too bad either. Our Thanksgiving dinner however was held at the house (which none of us knew where it was) and we had to find our way there. So two boys said that they would come meet us at the hotel because there were too many turns to the house to give directions and cell service doesn’t work up there. We waited for twenty minutes and the showed up, very very sweaty. We thought it was because they had ran to get us, but once we started up the path to the house we completely understood. It was some serious San Francisco hills going on. At least four large (and I mean steep and large by my standards so you know that’s serious) hills we had to go up. By the time we reached the house we all (especially me) looked like we had decided to pour water on our heads because we thought it would be entertaining. We were seriously soaked. But that didn’t stop the party. We wiped off the sweat and dug into the guac while the boys finished our amazing meal.

I was up and at ‘em bright and early. A few of us decided to go zip lining since we had not been able to go yet since in Costa Rica. The zip lines were amazing and half way through we stopped at a waterfall that we were able to jump into for a quick refresher. Then we zipped back to where we started. I was great. Here is a quick video that pretty much sums it all up.
