I'm Sailing Away...

What a week! Last week Courtney bought some bananas and he was so excited about them. There was one peel that you could tell had a double banana in it...big excitement people! So he decided to check it out...















Students got out of school early on Thursday for "student's day" and then we didn't have school on Friday for "teacher's day". Katie's sister and her family arrived on Wednesday so we got to meet them on Thursday. Thursday night we had a party at Jorge's house on the beach. It was fun. Friday the Dills and company went out and about and Courtney & I did laundry and then went to see "Baby Mama" and watch Matt play for the Ponce Leones. He got traded to Ponce because they still have a shot at the playoffs and so Guayama wouldn't have to pay him all of his money. He did really well and we left in the 4th when Ponce was up by 35 points. Yesterday we drove to Isla Verde (right by the airport) for parasailing! Katie and I have been saying we wanted to parasail for months now and we finally got the nerve to do it. It really is not scary at all! We were freaked out in the beginning but once you're up it's nothing! They put our gear on us and had us "sit down". Well by the time they got me hooked up and I was trying to sit down we started taking off. My butt never hit the boat! We took Katie's camera on the boat and took a "before" shot and one of the guys on the boat took a few pictures. I took my underwater camera up with us and took an entire roll of film in pictures but they are geting developed now and we've already sent our scanner back so you'll have to wait for those pictures. Courtney got tons of pictures from land...we should have had the video camera!

And finally, the Tsunami Guard. We heard this funny noise so we looked around and saw this man making big circles with his arms and then screaming and posing. I thought it was funny so I took his picture. While doing that this other man came and told us that he does that every day and he's doing it to keep the tsunamis away. Thank you, oh thank you, keeper of the tsunamis. Because of you we have been tsunami free our 2 years down here. We could not have done it without you!!
