Darah left for the beach house on Friday and it took them 6 hours in the car to finally get there. I thought we weren't going to make it to Oliva until next week but then I found out that it was Espe and Susa's Mom's birthday and they always surprise them. Our plan was to rent hotel rooms because the beach house is getting rented out for the month of July.
Plans got a little screwy when they lost the reservation for my single room. There was yelling. I tried to tell Espe that I could just sleep at the beach house with Darah (they have an extra bed) but she wanted me to be comfortable, so I got a single room at a completely random hotel about 10 minutes from where the rest of them were staying. Weird, but I was ok with it.
The plan: wake up at 6, Bernard would come get us at 6:30 and be at the beach by 10 to surprise Grandma.
What actually happened: wake up at 6 (after going to bed at 2, rough), wait for Bernard until 7:30!!! (he over slept his alarm), got on the road and stopped 2 times. I thought we were going to make it to the beach by 10. Next thing I know it's 1 o'clock and we have to meet up with the rest of the people at the restaurant they were at. Espe's mom (Ana) is 1 of 9 children. 6 girls and 3 brothers. Wowzers, I'm definitely ok with my 4 that I haves planned. Only 4 of her sisters made it to the beach this time. We missed beach time on Saturday but we went back to the hotel to hang out at the pool basically from 3pm to 8:30 when we were finally ready to go out to dinner.
Sunday the day went like this:
wake up
10:30-eat breakfast (pan tostado)
11-2:30-go to the beach, proceed to get sunburnt
2:30-4-Lunch
4-5-Pool
After the pool we got in the car and headed back but pretty much besides the driving back to Rivas, this will be our schedule for all of August. The beach houses are in the same complex thing, so instead of being a mile walk from one house to the next, we are only 30 seconds away.
Oh and one more thing, there's no wifi at the beach house!! So as for my blog....who knows what's going to happen. I will try to post, but I make no promises.
I didn't take too many pictures this last weekend but here are a few!
Alex looking cool in Marco's sunglasses
We all have super cool sunglasses :)
Darah and Alex
Alex likes to put sunblock on Darah. That's about all the sunblock she uses all day. NOT FAIR.
Kiddos on a tree! Hard to get all of them looking at the camera at the same time, but I did my best.
Kiddos dancing. Kinda blurry but you get the idea. They were pretty adorable.
Alex and his shark! (He's obsessed. Won't let anyone else ride it and he brought it with us all the way to the restaurant!)
So yea, that was pretty much my weekend and basically what the whole month of August is going to be like! I'll keep you updated as best I can!
