A relaxing weekend

 So a bunch of the international students and I went to go camping.  But instead of a tent we stayed in a cabin.  On the left you'll see a view of the place. We were right on top of a hill and you could see for miles. It was very beautiful.  While there we pretty much just hung out, however  you could go riding for a little bit. Three of my friends and I went riding.  The horses were very lazy and didn't want to move too fast but we were able to get them to trot.  The path we rode on was very flat and I would have loved to just canter  the entire way, except that I had no idea where we were going, and that my other friends don't know how to ride as well as  I do.  The strange part of this was the fact that our  guide didn't ride a horse like us, he simply walked and when we trotted he would run with us.

After riding we just hung out. I don't know a lot of the international students well so it was nice to hang out and get to know each other. We played a lot of card games where I learned a new one called California Speed.  We also played Mafia, Scramble, and the pointing game.  It was a lot of fun and nice to get off campus for a little while.

 This is a picture of the inside of the house.  It was fairly open and I really thought it was very cool.  The water here was safe to drink, however it tasted really weird so I didn't drink too much of it.  The toilet didn't work the second day we were there so it made the bathroom stink, but we weren't there for too long the second day anyways so it wasn't a big deal.

We had to bring our own food.  So Kevin, who is pretty much our student resource, and a few other students went grocery shopping.  When we first got there we had lunch.  For lunch we had salad and sandwiches.  We also had chips, but that was for a snack.  Then for dinner we had pasta, potatoes, salad, steak, and  sausage (which I made).  It was delicious.    Over the weekend I learned how to roll sausage.  It comes in a long tube thing and you have to roll the ends and then cut it.  It was interesting however when I was done my hands were stiff with raw meat juice. It felt really gross, but learning how to roll sausage was pretty cool.
