I had a really great birthday yesterday! Marty, Roberto, and I climbed a huge mountain. It took a pretty long time to get to the top. We actually we took a wrong path at one point and went up the wrong mountain. It was totally cool with me. Roberto was pretty tired. All he likes to do is watch TV, like most kids his age, haha. We hiked for about 6 or 7 hours yesterday. It was really amazing. When we got to the top of the mountain that we were set to climb initially, it was so worth all the hard work. The is this huge rock on the top of this mountain, similar to the “Pedritas”, that you can see all the mountains in Tepalpa. It’s so wonderful. It’s definitely that most beautiful mountains area I have ever seen in my life. I have pictures of it but it can’t really show you the magnitude of the beauty.

Later on in the day we went to Mass at the beautiful cathedral in the Plaza. A great way to end my day  After the Mass we went to a store close by and got ice cream. I told Marty that something I like to do with my ice cream is to put candy with it. Something like gummy bears. So we went to a little candy shop close by and bought a few. The only problem was that they were super old and hard. It’s funny though; we kept referring to them all night at rocks. Marty’s sisters invited us to go sleep over at their house. They just recently moved into a house near the plaza it’s nice little house. We stayed up hanging out and laughing, oh and dancing. Or at least they were trying to teach me how, you know how horrible I am at that stuff.
