Break Cut Short

So…. This little weekend of fun was cut short.  On Friday we woke up relatively early at 9:00, and we were on the bus at 10:00.  We got to Atlantida at 11:15, and we headed to pick up my cousin Rodrigo from school.  He usually gets out at 12:15, but since it was his birthday we got to pick him up early.   In Uruguay, the kids that go to the public schools go either in the morning or in the afternoon.  He goes in the morning.  After that he led us to their house, since he usually takes the bus by himself he knows the route very well. Thinking that when we left he was just 1, and that he turned 11 yesterday is a scary thought.  After that we ate lunch together, played some board games, and then walked down to the beach. 

 

BAD DECISION!!!

WIND WIND WIND

Oh how I wish it was hot!

Atlantida

Though the walk, the view, and the puppies we saw on the way were wonderful… It was soo windy and cold by the beach.  That is where the cold that I had really turned into this great flu that I have now.  On the walk back we stopped by a little shop, where I got my cousin whatever he wanted. And then we just played with his dog (horse is more like it) and hung out at his house once his parents got back from working in Montevideo.  At night we cut the cake and my uncle drove us to my aunt’s house where I realized how horrible I felt.  After that, I had to make the sad decision that I would miss Rodrigo’s big party the next day (since it was outside,) and that we would have to cancel our plans to have a Pajama Party the next night (right now)  with my other cousin in Montevideo.  So… After Maia went to Rodrigo’s party, we got on a bus and headed back to home base, where I will be staying in bed for at least tomorrow.  The good thing is that I can still read letters in bed!!! Once I get some stuff from the letters tomorrow, I will post again.
