7-26-09 Sunday--Beach Day

Hola amigos! Today Kaila and I woke up early. I wanted to get to an internet café because today was my day to talk with my parents and Jordon over the telephone. I got news the night before that our hostfamily was having a family reunion. Kaila and I didn’t want to interrupt, so we thought we’d go to the beach with Emily. I needed to email my family and Jordon to tell them the news…which was kind of frustrating. The café didn’t open until 11 AM and it cost 1.80 Euros for one hour of internet, which wasn’t bad. What got me was, the dude who was running the place, used MY computer time to order an airline ticket for his friend (because he needed help). Basically, what happened was I had to type like 3 things for him… it was really bizarre. He kept asking me if the price was good and blah blah blah…and I had no idea? I don’t order airline tickets for a living…he just made me upset! But I bought an international calling card there for 6 Euros…so I could call my parents and then it didn’t work on a pay phone, only a home phone…soo weird. I get easily frustrated with this place sometimes. After we headed towards the beach and ate lunch at Foccaccio Café. I had a piece of pizza…but it really wasn’t pizza. It was more like pizza dough, with no sauce, with sausage and onions. It was quite good though. I also got some ice cream! It was delicious and refreshing. It’s so hot here! Finally, we made our way towards the beach and it was very nice to go in the sea and cool off. The only downfall at the beach is a lot of the woman go topless…not just young girls…I am talking like 50-60 year old woman…I don’t even want to think of how many boobs I have seen on this trip so far. Oh my gosh! Thank goodness, it’s not a nude beach…otherwise I would be outta’ there. I got some color though…so I am not so pale. We got home around 6ish and I called my parents and Jordon right when we got here, except neither picked up . My mom called later though, around 7ish and we talked for about 10 minutes. I don’t want to stay on the phone long because I’m not sure if we’re able to? Later, during dinner (which we had some chicken that was fried with some salad, it was good!) Jordon called though. Carmen answered and came out dancing and said Robyn, el telephono y "it's a man, it's a man" and was doing a dance. It was too funny. I was able to talk with Jordon for awhile...it was nice. I got to talk with my family and Jordon! That just makes me happy! I just miss home period. I’m doing all right, I just wouldn’t mind coming home! Well, till tomorrow!
