Cactus Hunting.

Yesterday some friends and I went to St. George's to go to the market and mall.
actually a lot of people went, it was like an SO field trip.
Alfonso, Amber, Christina, Adriana, Sarah, Sarah, and Sarah.... there are now 3 Sarah's!
It was a lot of fun and incredibly hot.
I did manage to get a potato peeler, start fruit, yams, bananas, and earrings for my cartilage piercing, since my other one had like rusted or something... gross.
and I remained true to my vow to give up smoothies for Lent even though EVERYONE else got one. :/

Afterward I decided to go after my cacti I wanted to get..... it was an adventure.
I realized I didn't have anything to dig them up with, so I went with a..... spoon.
I was really afraid someone would see me out there digging up cacti, but luckily just some locals were out on the cliff fishing and they didn't even notice I was there. literally.
I found that baby cactus don't grow very deep roots, and they start off of a piece of an old cactus, so it wasn't too hard to dig them up. and I found some perfect little cacti that needed a new home.

I had been saving our tin cans from soup and vegetables, without actually knowing what I would do with them, and they worked perfectly for cactus. 

I ended up getting way more than I needed and Lee was like what are we supposed to do with these?! haha.... but I love them!  I'm going to sit them outside my door everyday to get some sun.
and I only got pricked once!!!

Don't jump!

Yesterday I went on a walk... out of boredom and our house is freezing, so I went out to get warm too.  and I ended up on the very end of the tip of campus, on a cliff overlooking the ocean.  It's so beautiful out there. and scary.
It is mostly rock and cacti out there.  I LOVE that there are cactus here.  That was one of my favorite things about San Antonio was the pretty cacti... and here there is the best of both worlds, cactus AND flowers and trees and bushes and rainforest. Grenada is perfect. :)
I was by myself so I made use of my self timer...




SGU campus



I'm going to research how to get a start of a cactus and grow one at our apartment.....
