Parasailing

What? Parasailing is when a person glides through the air wearing an open parachute while being towed by a motorboat. When? July 26, 2010. Where? Cancun, Mexico and again in Veracruz, Mexico. Why? It looks so fun! Review: Don't even try to put this down as a "scary feat". Now I know I am an adrenaline junkie, but this is no where near scary. In fact, it was so relaxing. You got beautiful views and felt the ocean breeze touch your skin. Magic. (I went with my cousin, she's in the front and also with my dad).




Snorkeling

What? Snorkeling is when you swim using a snorkel. When? July 26, 210. Where? Veracruz, Mexico. Why? I've always found the idea of another world beneath the water super interesting and kinda scary. Review: Fun, as always. I liked seeing fishes and it was warm water, so I would definitely go again(this was my seventh time lol). Gosh, I really need a go pro :(

White Water Rafting

What? White water rafting is the challenging recreational outdoor activity of using an inflatable raft to navigate a river or other bodies of water, in order to thrill and excite the raft passengers. When? July 23, 2010(for Mexico).  Where? American River, CA and Yukon River, Alaska and Rio Grande, Mexico. Why? I love exciting and life-endangering adventures, I am an adrenaline junkie, and this satisfied me(especially if you get to raft in higher levels). Review: Loved it so much that I have done it three times and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Bullfighting

What? Bull fighting is the sport of baiting and killing a bull as a public spectacle in an outdoor arena. When? July 22, 2010. Where? Xico, Mexico. Why? Okay, so I know a lot of people are against this, because its not a very humane, but it is a cultural thing and is widely popular is Spanish-speaking countries, so I had to check it out. Review: I can't say I would go again. It is very depressing to see the bull stabbed to death, but at the same time, I give lots of respect to the men who risk their lives for the entertainment. Bullfighting is an art, it has a bigger meaning than just killing an animal.

Visiting The Pyramids

What? The Sun and Moon Pyramid of Mexico.When? July 16, 2010.  Where? Teotihuacan. Why? I did a report on the pyramids and also the Aztecs when I was younger and wanted to see the real thing. Review: So cool, definitely worth the trip! I have been once before, but these will amaze me, no matter how many times I go. Plus, they are always trying to uncover new areas (since most of the pyramids are underground covered my land rising around them).
