Hola from Mexico!

Spring break is over and that means 3^rd trimester starts….
 

It is so sad that we could only get flights from Monday to Monday… because I missed the one day of school. My classes this tri are

International Relations

US History

Photo video

Youth Issues

English

I am pretty excited to start my last Trimester at a American High school, but I am also very sad, because that means my adventure is almost over.

Anyways Mexico was so much fun! I was so glad to get out of the snow and to finally have over 10 °C. In Minneapolis there is still a lot of snow, so I was so ready to see the sun again. 

Busy beach in cabo san lucas

The flight from Minneapolis to Cabo San Lucas takes like 3.30-4 h so not as bad as the flight over to America. Mexico is in the same time zone as California so we won 2 hours. We arrived in Cabo San Lucas and you got out of the plane and it was perfect J Here were like 27-31 °C so perfect for me! After a 45 min drive to the hotel, we got our swimsuits out of the suitcase and went right to the beach. By the way I used the suitcase I had for 1 year for 1 week, just in case it gets cold…or I need more than 3 t-shirts a day.

on a dinner cruise

In the evening we often went downtown to eat something and I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD!!! Throughout the week we went paddle boarding twice, swan in the ocean, went on a dinner cruise and we relaxed and tanned a lot. Paddle boarding is like paddling but you stand/squat/sit/lay on a big surfboard. It is a lot of fun, but it sucks when the wind is blowing the wrong direction. 

Lying at the beach is always fun and the water was pretty cold but nice to cool down. Cabo San lucas has one coast to the pacific but the waves are too high, so I couldn´t go in there to actually swim, but I can say my feet and my butt where in the pacific and not a lot of you guys can say that!

What is a vacation without a burned body? I almost made it through the whole week without a burned part, but I thought that would be boring, so I burned the last day, while we were in the pool. Now I am sitting in the plane and hope that we don’t crash….

I also hope that they let me back in the United States….. I send my visa and everything to YFU and they send it to the government and it shouldn´t be a problem but who knows…? At the airport in Mexico they wanted to see special forms and something we filled out in the internet and we didn´t do all of it…., but they let me on the plane so it shouldn’t be a problem. 

I also hope that we are able to arrive at the airport in Minneapolis, because we were suppose to get another 4-7 inches of snow and a bad wind.

 

Anyways when I post that on my blog than you know that I am home and not frozen….

I will go to bed now because it was a long and busy day for me and I need to wake up early again 

Good night guys

Love you all

Alex

Spring break

The Target Center

Sorry guys that I was a bit offline, but I had so much going on, so I couldn’t find a few minutes to write something…. But now I have time because it is SPRINGBREAK.

For the people in Minnesota it is more a winter wonderland break, because we got again 30 cm of snow and that’s why we had our first snow day (snow day=no school, because it is too hard to get to school). In my school district It was the first snow day for 5 years and everybody was happy about it, but it was our final week, so the finals got pushed back and that means more work on the last days before spring break.

On Monday we are going to fly to Cabo san lucas in mexico and I am so excited, because it means a change from -6 to 30 °C. 

My last weeks were busy and here a short summary:

Timberwolves in action

I was at a Timberwolves basketball game and after it we went right away to Rob’s hockey game. It was a packed sport, but not so successful… The Minnesota Timberwolves had a really good game and were ahead the whole time, but lost 99-100. Rob´s team played good, but they lost too.

The girls swim team is suppose to time at boys home meets, so the boys had their True team and section meet and I had a fun time, because I timed with my friends and it was nice and warm at the pool.  After it the boys invited us to come over to a captain’s house to watch a movie and it was fun to hang out with everybody.

Timeing at the boys meet with Lizzy and Ariana

Prom is coming closer, so I started to try on some dresses and some are super nice, but some OMG no way that I am going to wear it! I kind of know what I want, but still I am open for everything. Tomorrow I will go to Mall of America (biggest mall in America) and me and my friend will look for more dresses. I will probably take some pictures and put them online.

3 days ago we had a spring sport meeting and I decided to play lacrosse with my friend Brittany. I got a stick and the strings are blue and orange. I am so excited to finally play!!!

Score: 99-100

The finals on Wednesday and Thursday were kind of hard, because all the teacher had us write tests the same week, so on Wednesday I had a test or a final every hour and I can tell you that’s not fun.

So for Mexico…

YES it’s safe

YES I will use sun cream

NO I won’t drink water

YES I will get back into the country

and YES we will have a good time

so you guys don´t have any reasons to be worried

Have a nice week and I will enjoy the sun and produce a lot of vitamin D

Love you
