today one of our cotrainees, arabella asked us out, we drove 45 minutes to eatonville, another town near tacoma, then to the north west trek.. i've never seen soooo many animals that's native to the wild in my whole life. we took pictures and videos of eagles, owls, wolves, all sorts of canids, bobcats, elks, otter, skunk, bears.. i fell in love with the forest. the park, is actually donated by a family who used to live across the lake in the area. some of the animals that are there are injured and instead of taking them down, they were nurtured there til they either heal or they wait their time.
we took the tram and saw meadows and a lake and swans and marshes and so many pine trees that are at least 80 years old.
and i got this paua shell earrings from the gift shop and had 2 quarters and a penny flattened til they become flat and stamped with a mousse drawing and i will make that a pendant when i go home.
then we had lunch at adam's. a resto in eaton and we drove to arabella's log cabin/house. it was kewl cuz it looked like a ranch. and she has this HUGE dog that scared me but, i managed to pet it when i got my bearings.
and when we got to the hotel, i walked to the tacoma mall and shopped smore. :) got him his AE shoes, some shirts from A&F, i got me a pair of jeans from old navy, and i loved pacsun! i got a dress and a tiny heather peacoat from billabong!
i love sale and consumerism. altho i am guilty and i feel silly cuz i should honestly stop drooling over things when i have aplenty back home and should just save.
i kinda wanted to kick myself. i kinda spent a little less than 40,000 php for food/clothes/digicam..and could've been a downpayment for a house. hahaha. but, i'll never be able to have the money to go around and shop this much.. so..
but, all in all, i realised as we were driving home that this country is soooooo beautiful beyond words. and that it's extremely blessed to have soooo many options for its people.
hayyyyyyyyyyyers. wutta weekend!!!
