Out on the Boat:)

Saturday morning we spent playing more nerts and discussing different aspects of life and cultural differences between Russia and USA with Cara and her parents.
Cara's mom, Kebra, was wearing a t-shirt with a sign on it saying: "No One Falls", and I told her I think this is the main characteristic of American society. No one ever lets others fall, and there is this belief that everyone is worth a lot in this life, and that everything will be alright. Kebra agreed with me, especially that she works as a counsellor in the middle school, so it is her job to not let kids with troubles fall in their lives.
In the afternoon we decided to go on the boat around the lake: Cara lives right on Canyon Lake, so it took us couple minutes to get there.
Cara and Devin were wake-boarding and knee-boarding (more about what that is in one of the next posts), and then we were just driving the boat around the lake. We met couple neighbors, including that funny girl Amanda from the pool-party.
I even got a chance to drive a boat for several minutes, Kebra was giving me instructions on what to do and where to go. It was a great experience.

Here: Cara, Devin and Kebra.

Devin wake-boarding. Wake-boarding is when you tie the board to the boat, and then as the boat starts going the string pulls you on the board and you surf on the water.
