I have mixed feelings about all of it. I want to go home and start school again, but I really like it here as well. The people I've met and spent time with are nothing like my friends back home. Don't get me wrong. I love my friends back home. But the whole feeling of this place is completely different. We walk to the store almost EVERY DAY. Yes, we do go to the store every day. I'm not exactly sure why because we don't really ever need much... But does it matter?
And there's actually a movie theater within walking distance too! My cousin came us wth some cool things for us to do since I've been here. Now she has left for Volleyball camp and I won't see her until...well...possibly next summer. Hoping it will be before that though.
So I'm sure you're wondering about the title of this post... and if you're not.. I'll tell you about it anyway.
So every time my cousin and I went to the store, we'd stop and look at this FANTASTIC blow-up kiddie pool with an awning and cool clear plastic "windows". It was a thing of glory.
Well...one day we were by ourselves on a quick trip to visit her Ecuadorian friend and pick up a few things. We had a credit card. So.......... WE BOUGHT THE POOL
and set it up in her room. (no water, duh)
I slept in it that night... and the next night she slept in it.
most uncomfortable thing i've ever done.
but nonetheless.....
it was an experience.
this entire vacation has been an experience. and overall, a very good one. I will keep you posted. nothing much more to do now that my cousin is off at camp.
kiddie pools, "everywhere's", payphones, and milk and cookies at 2 in the morning.
good times.
good times.
