hello all! So the day after we arrived we got up and went to a lovley river and hung out and had lunch by the side of it. it was very yosemite esque. We were swimming and jumping in etc, lovely! Really good fun and very refreshing. We then planned to go into a local town to do some snack shopping but when we headed down the hill towards the town there was a police road block. We were very puzzled so we asked and he said that there were severe forest fires and even he couldnt get through cos there was loads of equipment in the road. So we headed back up to the house, watched zodiac, a movie based on a true story about a killer that took place in san fran, which kims mum can remember happening so it was pretty interesting... i reccomend it!! Gambling in the US is illegal unless you are over 21 but native americans have some loop hole in the laws which mean they can run casinos for people 18 and up. So last night we headed over to one of the casinos to have a gamble! It was awesome fun. I took 50 dollars cash, on my first black jack table i walked away 80 dollars up, then my second i walked away 30 down!!! Then when we got home we had a game of poker and i lost another 10 bucks, so the night cost me 40 dollars, which is only 20 quid, and i had a completly awesome time, the casino was amazing, i can see why ppl get addicted!! So this morning we got up and made the 5 hour drive back to san jose and kims house, we just arrived now. Tonight lots of kims family are coming over cos she is off to uni on tuea so they are saying fair well. Still having an awesome time, ready for home cos im exhausted, its been 110% non stop for nearly 3 months but its been the most amazing 3 months. Off to LA on tues... another adventure becons. Love to u all. xxxx
