sandboarding. rules

today we went sandboarding! it was about the most fun i've ever had in a gym class. I don't have enough time to upload photos of it, but I ight have time to upload one of a lion or something...
anyways, sandboarding right. i have sand in EVERY nook and crannie. bellybutton, ear, hair follicle basically sand is EVERYWHERE. but i couldn't be happier! it was one of the best days. we rode down these sand dunes at speeds of about 40-80 miles an hour, my fastest has 73 and it felt like you were on a roller coaster. i now know what it's like to taste sand my friends. walking up the dunes was hard work, but thrououghly satisfying as we sped down the side.

i know i've forgotten things before, so i'm going to go back and talk about a few key points like visiting the San Village. even know i can't put my experience into words, what the government has done to these once majestic people. awhen you think of san i bet you think of tribal clothes and spears. what we saw was government control and it's side effects. bellies bloated uncomfortably from malnutricion, a ridiculously small amount of food and water and how the government refuses to let these nomadic people live the way they have for centruries. america is in a bubble, here the truth lies out open on the streets as you count the ribs of passerbys and look into the wise eyes of a girl carrying a daughter on her back. i could go on for hours about what i've learned here already, and what i'm sure is to come. i guess all you need to know is that life is amazing, and you need to go out and live it.

and i feel like i should talk about the girls here, all of them are amazing. we all bring a different aspect to the group that makes such a thriving community.
