Arizona

I'm back. I know how difficult it must have been for everybody having me gone for so long, but yes I am finally back. Arizona was great. We rowed. A lot. It was very tiring but we learned a ton and overall it was fun. But I'm not going to really talk about the rowing because nobody cares. The rest of it was great though. We climbed this mountain which was right in the middle of the city. It was weird but you could see the entire city. We also went to the zoo which was great. We were by far the oldest people their who didn't have severe mental disabilities but it was still cool. I kind of want a monkey now. It was also great because Conor and Nick were staying with the former director of the zoo so we had that VIP status and got a private tour. I got to pet a sting ray which was disgusting but kind of cool. Also Joe and I stayed with the Brown family who were absolutely unbelievable. Their son Ryan was cool and everything else was great. Arizona is a cool place but it would just be too hot. Oh also I didn't step on a cactus I kicked it. I got stung by a bee and then when we were walking back I was turning to talk to Rory and I kicked a cactus. The spines were sticking right out of my foot. I will never take cactus for granted again. I know this is a really jumbled post but I'm feeling very jumbled so it works.
