Sports, Cards, and Poop

On Monday afternoon I went to my mom’s optical store to give her something, and then continued on my own through the town, eventually making my way to my sister’s private English lesson on the other side of town. I stopped in a variety of shops: jewelry, shoes and clothing stores are everywhere. I was looking for another pair of spandex pants to wear for gym, and bought a pair of pinkish/orange pants that are super hot. Jumpsuits (wearing clothes all the same color) are popular, and it turns out my fav shirt is the same color as these pants, so I’m all set.

I ran into some friends and asked them where this school is that my sister takes classes. They told me to walk up the street we were on, and then take a left….well I did that and ended up not being able to find it. I wasn’t really lost, I could find my way home, I just wasn’t able to find the school. I found my friends again, and called Francisca to let her know. I later met up with her and watched her basketball practice.

The next day our whole family went out for lunch because we couldn’t eat at home. We are having a dishwasher installed where our sink was, so we have no water and the kitchen is useless for the next few days. At the restaurant I ate fried calamari and mini octopus. It was sooo good! I’ve had really good fish here…I wonder why!?
On Wednesday in my gym class (wearing my pinkish/orange jumpsuit – hah) I told one friend all about rugby. She was impressed, and invited me to do Atletismo (like track) with her. I went that night to a stadium higher up on the island and we did a bunch of different exercises. It was very laid back, there were only about 8 kids from age 12-17. We did a mini pole vault, high jumping, mini hurdles, and played some games. It felt good to get exercise and run around. Oh and another thing: I´m going to start sailing November 1st!

I taught my bro, Axel, how to play some card games. He didn’t want to stop playing and wants me to teach him how to shuffle really fast. He loves me.

On Thursday I woke up really sore, especially my arms and shoulders from throwing a medicine ball in Atletismo. I need a hot tub and a massage…

Like I said before, we don’t have any water to use in our house, which means we can’t use the toilets. Well, I had to go #2 and I wasn’t going to just let it sit in the toilet like my brothers did. (was just asked to play cards..haha) So I asked my sister where I should release, and she told me to go buy some gum at Cuenta Cuento (mini bar/restaurant really close to my house) and ask for the bano. So I went there, bought my Orbit gum and went to the bathroom. Too bad I didn’t know which was the men’s or womens since on the doors it read Duendes and Ninfas….I went with Duendes. (later I looked up and duendes=elves, ninfas=nymph) I was hoping there wouldn’t be anyone waiting outside when I was done…well I had bad luck. Two teenage boys, one who is in my class, were standing outside and gave me confused looks. I simply pointed to the signs on the doors and said “no entiendo nada” (I don’t understand anything). “Crap” was what I was thinking in my head as I left…
Well I’m gonna go kick some butt in the next 10000 card games I’m about to play.
