¡Dia EXTREMA!

We’ve officially kicked off the summer- a BBQ/pool party at Angel’s house on Saturday. Unfortunately, we also had the first cool/drizzly day in weeks on Saturday, which didn’t stop us from bbq-ing but did put a hold on the swimming plans. Nonetheless we had a great turnout and a great time and grilled a ton of meats and veggies on a huge homemade grill while the guys took turns dj-ing on the turntables.

Sunday was a day of EXTREMES! Angel invited me to go for a moto ride in the mountains, which to me sounded lovely (I’m thinking picnics, hot sun, cool breeze, great views, etc.) First of all, he showed me the shortcut to his garage from his kitchen: a 3-story high fireman pole. I put on my brave face and some moto gloves and gave it a go- it turns out it wasn’t nearly as scary as I had imagined. The moto ride however was MUCH SCARIER. For this we took the lighter off-roading moto, and he told me it would probably be a lot like riding a horse. NOT TRUE. Those off-roading moto drivers are crazy!! Angel went easy on me, not doing many of the jumps or going too fast next to the side of the cliffs, but every other moto we saw was either 5 feet in the air or completely sideways or both (none of the horses we saw were in either of these situations). Crazies. The scenery was gorgeous, from what I could tell behind my squeezed-shut eyes, and I think Angel was only a little embarrassed by me screaming at the top of my lungs when we went over the scary parts. (Don’t worry mom I was completely safe the whole time). At one point we were on top of a mountain and even passed some parachuters. Summary: Great experience, not to be repeated.

SABES QUE…

This rider is doing the "Superman Seat Grab". 

Additional information:
I completely left out the part of the story where we stopped to fill up the off-roading moto with gas and I was left alone with it while Angel went to pay. At this point, a car full of about 9 people pull up behind me and signal for me to scoot the thing up so they can pull up and get gas. So I have no idea how to move a moto or even turn it on and as I struggled with the thing not only did the car of 9 along and all of the people in the other cars watch in awe and amusement but when I looked up everyone inside the gas station was lined up against the window watching and laughing as well. I finally ended up knocking both myself and the bike over before Angel came out and saved me. Stupid fancy “on” buttons.

Also- Georgie got a haircut and a job! Apparently something for the city that involves wearing a jumpsuit. I am very proud of him. (Remember Georgie?)
