September

The month that we got our very own kitchen… complete with a kettle two mugs, a cup of sugar, a bottle of Gatorade with milk in it and 1 spoon! This, I feel is the epitome of a British Kitchen, this is all we need! 

This investment resulted in many Saturday morning’s watching films, drinking tea and eating biscuits in bed…aaah the simple things!

September was also the month of our epic adventure. It had began as nothing more than a harmless dog walk with Darwin, one of the twelfth graders, and ended with us covered in bites, cuts, scrapes and mud and an epic story to tell! Ever, Darwin’s brother joined us when he realised that we hadn’t taken any water. He also brought a machete, which we later used to hack through a green forest. After hacking through the dense forest we arrived at a cliff face about 10ft tall or so..we couldn’t go back so..Ever found some long vines to tie into ropes and lift us up the rock face.. Then came the real issue…the dog. This problem was solved using belts and the lead as a harness and brute strength to lift Spikey up. Safe to say the dog didn’t like us much by the end of this trip. We finally emerged from the forest and found ourselves at one of the highest points in La Union..it was an awesome view, but as per usual photos don’t do it justice! 

We also got to meet our Rep Vegas. He’s an awesome man whose lived in the country since 1987 so, parents, we’re definitely in safe hands if anything goes wrong..not that it will of course! We met him in Gracias and went to the hot springs and ate lots and lots of food! Vegas, if you’re reading this, thank you for the food, you have no idea how much it meant to us! On the way home he took us via Las Playas which is a river that you have to cross..we spent some times there chilling in the sun and gathering some petrified wood before returning home for another week of school

This is just a picture to prove that we still love each other 2 months in, and I have also held a dog! Go meee!

This for anyone complaining about their uni digs.. this is our 'shower' after it has rained a bit too much, we're not sure if that's Kate's tan line or a dirt line..
