This morning, we woke up around 9am and realized that we needed to hurry if we wanted to make it to breakfast before the buffet closed. My mom went to go wake up Amalie and Sheira only to find that they were already awake because a cleaning lady had come in about 20 minutes before to clean their room! They had to tell her that they were still sleeping and to clean it up later. No buses were coming our way when we got outside, so we had to walk all the way to the lobby and just hope that we would get there in time. We arrived at 10:20am, only 10 minutes before closing time.
After breakfast we were able to finally skype our family back at home! So far the house is still in tact. Although, they were all wearing coats and scarves because they were trying to save electricity by not having the heat on. That day was also the day everyone comes over for homeschool classes, so they were trying to get ready for that. I wonder how it was without us there... Including my mom who teaches one of the two main classes.
Most all today was relaxing, reading, swimming and spending time on the beach, but we also did arrange for us to go to an orphanage early tomorrow morning, so I am excited. I also had an experience when we were leaving the beach at around 5:30pm, so most everyone was already gone and I walked up to the pool and put my stuff down on a chair so that I would have free hands to put my chair up. This server guy saw me and greeted me in spanish and dropped into a different chair. I said holla back and then went back to what I was doing. I glanced over and he was staring at me and then winked at me and said something in Spanish that I didn't understand. Amalie then walked up and I started talking to her in English so he'd get that I couldn't speak Spanish, but every time I'd glance back, he'd wink at me again! Finally when we had finished drying off and putting our hair up, we headed back to our room. As we passed him, he looked at me and made a kiss face and smiled. I just laughed and said "goodbye" and walked away as fast as possible. Seriously, what's with all these workers here and winking?
This evening went pretty smoothly. I got to see a cook make my pasta for me. I got to choose the ingredients that I wanted him to grill with it and then he'd do it all right in front of me. When he cooked the veggies, he'd make flame fly up! It looked so cool and I had to come up and video it. He winked at me and told me that he would make fire just for me. Just before we left the dinner table, Amalie accidentally poured all her water down my mom's shirt and she jumped up SO fast and grabbed a cloth to try and dry it off as fast as possible. All this did was attract the attention of ALL the people within viewing proximity... We decided to leave pretty quick after that. Everyone but Kirsten was cracking right up!
Well, I had better get to bed soon, as we have to wake up pretty early tomorrow! Until then!
