Pucon Day 3

Today I tried to climb the volcano. It was a no go. Apparently it was too cloudy and German (Hermon) doesn´t let anyone climb when its not safe. Good thing. German also owns the hostel. He is so nice. He had come into our room late last night to let us know that we needed to lock the door. There was really heavy wind and he was affraid that the door would blow open. He tried to wake us up very gently and we didn´t seem botheres. It was really funny. There was a man in our room at some strange ohour in the morning and he was warning us. We were not phased. We should have been, but we weren´t. We got up and locked the door and went straight back to sleep.

In the morning we had a late start. I am bummbed out that I can´t go to the volcano. ALi invited me and Sarah on a bike ride with him to look at some waterfalls. It was a long ride and I didn´t want to be xhausted tomorrow if it was a better day and I could climb. So I had to say no.

I decided to go on a canopy tour with Kate and Tyler instead. I have never done this before and I was terrified! We had little instruction, all that was in spanish. All I remember is that if you start spinning its ad and you could die. Well I started spinning. I was freaking out. We had to run inbetween the zip lines and it was all anxiety provoking and I just wanted it to be over. Well all the guys made fun of me but I didn´t die. I went tandom on a long zip. 1 kilometer long. It was amazing but if I ever do it again, I want it to be so I understand the instuctions.

Back at the hostel that night we all went to the hot springs. They were outdoors in the middle of the forrest. I have never seen so many stars so clearly in my life. it was beautiful. We were all there and had a blast. Especially when this other Canadian girl decided to hit on Ali. This chick was extremely slutty and didn´t seem to have a problem wiht it. It was very amusing for the rest of us because Ali didn´t know what to do and at one point hid his head into a rock to get away from her. We all had a ton of laughs at her and his expense. It was so much fun. Then on the way back, a very long drive. We had some beers and apparently Ali and I fell asleep in the car. We were awaken when we got back to the hostel. It was a great night.
