School is buzzing with excitement.. its independance day next week and I think its bigger than Christmas, there has been a lot of preparation and lots of dance practise! AND theres a stage in the garden, much to our delight!!
Wednesday we hit Vina for the day, watched Manuel whip the football pitch into shape and score some goals for his team they were also playing against a team sponsored by durex, much to our amusement.
The girls teams were terrible, now I realise why girls football isn't as big as mens.. they run round like fairies looking scared of the ball. Hats off to the bitch fight though for a bit of entertainment. There was a lot of over dramatics with fake injurys.. very unconvincing, however, the football proceedings came to a halt when the goalkeeper hit the ground. A deadly silence, then a lot of shouting for an ambulance. Hold up guys, lets check the situation here, theres been a lot of dramatic tumbles and your all fine, why does he need an amblance.... oh yes i see, his foot shouldnt bend that way, right you are!
In the afternoon we hit the zoo and got to touch the animals!! This was awesome, we got to stroke the above animal which I have no idea as to what it is (not the elephant, i know what an elephant is.) which rolled over onto ts back for a belly rub. The tiger (through its cage) but still pretty awesome, I actually think he was my favourite, closely followed by the escape monkeys, who distract you with their frollicking ways and when your backs turned they are almost certainly digging a tunnel out of their cage. Male informed us that various animals escape on quite a regular basis, the penguins were seen swimming down the river to freedom, a seal escaped once. I think its safe to say all the animals are pretty intellegent and hatching masterplans for freedom.
However the best moment was when ella went to stroke the penguin and it projectile pooed at her. VERY amusing. The elephant was also pretty interested in sniffing her.
Friday we watched each class pratice their dance for independance day, however, became distracted messing around with a few of the kids. There we were happily doing rollie pollies and such and ella decides to lift a small boy in the air, he kicks off her hands and does a mid air somersault. Our hearts definately stopped but her quick reflexes managed to spin his shoulders so he landed on his feet, happily bouncing around. that was the end of playtime.
After this escapade Manuel picked us up and drove us down to the beach to get the surfboard fixed. We watched the surfers for a while until we got too cold then wandered around the mall trying to find the right shop. after we hit up mcdonalds where they had a V.I.P section.. you what?? We then went into vina to get some mobiles and look round the shops. mainly at shoes. Picked up Male from the vets who was waiting with empanadas for us. yum. and debated over whether we were going to the discotech or not. This debate lasted longting and I cut my losses and hit my bed for sleepy sleepy time.
And finally Yesterday we thought it would be a brilliant idea to ramble/rockclimb up a hillside dodging various tramps that had taken up residence... and yes it was. the views from the top were amazing. Once at the top we noticed a nice steady road that led up to the top but decided it would be more fun to go back down the way we came up.. most of the way down we slid on our bums with a lot of comical trips and falls. Followed by a trip into town to stock up on curry ingrediants, well sort of, near enough ingrediants anyway. We soooooo want a Curry.
Manjar!! That is the toffee stuff and I love it too have you tried in on pancakes?
