I've Got Bruce Lee's On My Head...

[Larry accidentally eats decorative manger scene cookies]

Becky: You ate the baby Jesus and his mother Mary?
Larry: I thought they were animal cookies.
Chery's Dad: Animal Cookies? What, are you kidding me?
Becky: Jesus Christ is not an animal!!
Larry: I thought he was a monkey.
Cheryl's Dad: A monkey? Oh, please.
Cheryl's Mom: Larry, have you no shame?
Becky: The Son of God is not a monkey, Larry!!

So as fate turns out once again, I actually do have a roomate assignment; the Exchange had just left me in the dark about it for a while. I wasn't able to talk to him (Brandon) until I got back from my awesome camping trip last Tuesday. But anyway, I'm looking forward to getting the fuck out of here none the less.

Now, I'm a camping virgin...**gasp!** Let me just say, it was one hell of a way to end my summer. We drove over to a little town called Concan around Uvalde. A friend of ours, Heather, owns a piece of land complete with a cement pad right by the water so it was nice to feel selfish and have that area to ourselves. The Frio river has to be one of the most clean, clear, beautiful rivers in Texas. Perhaps I'm just used to swimming in the disgusting Comal at Schlitterbahn.

Although we cheated both nights and ate at nearby restaurants, I still felt pretty primitive...And by the way, sleeping on nothing but rocks feels really good on your back the next day. I guess the only sucky part about the trip is that we were all pretty badly sunburnt. Mary and Brittany got the worst of it...afterall we did tube for a total of 10 hours. Thank god I wore a shirt.

Apologies in advance for not having any tubing pictures. I wasn't going to take my dig. camera in the river with me....enjoy the pics!

Lunch stop at Subway on the way to Uvalde!

Mary Jane said...

what did that comment say to get deleted? Probably sexually harassing my sexy ass... :-)

Patrick said...

some long ass advertisement or something. I didnt' even read the whole thing. But if I did, it probably was sexually harassing your sexy ass.
