About Me

I'm the thing that's not like the others.

Nov. 6 - All day slumber party!

Boston and I started the day watching music videos in our pj’s. We had some breaky, of course, but then we did some serious loafing until Sailor showed up. When she did Bebia hollered my name from the front yard until I answered and then Sailor came up.

The three of us went for a "hike", by which I mean that we walked on the paved road up the mountain and then back down then mountain. We tooks loads of pictures. On our way down the mountain, we scrambled over the verge across from my house and we took a little side thing, that may or may not have been a road. Eventually we ended up at a river with a giant pipe across it. Sailor decided that walking across the pipe was a good plan, so she did while Boston and I photographed. From that point we could also see some snowy mountains in the distance, so we spent quite a long time taking pictures. On the way back, we passed the house of a woman who works at the school. She invited us in for tea, but we declined (graciously, of course) and continued home.

Back at the casa, we cleaned up a bit (our shoes were super muddy from taking the road(?)s less travelled. Then we had lunch. While we were eating lunch Bebia came into the kitchen in a tizzy because her son had come to visit and brought guests from Italy.

After we tidied our lunch mess, we went out and visited for a bit. It was cool, but weird. Only one of the Italians spoke any English, and I think only 1 or 2 spoke Georgian. After the initial small talk, we were pretty much ignored, so we escaped to inside.

We turned the tv to music videos again and each spent time doing our own thing; I was reading (surprise!), Sailor was creating a test for her gr 3 class, and Boston was working on the cover letter for an application. We then spent a solid couple of hours helping her revise and edit said letter. In the end it was amazing.

Food came next, since it had been a solid 5 hours since we’d last eaten. The girls have gotten really good at finding their way around the kitchen here, and between the three of us we had dinner and cleaned up in no time. Then we decided to watch Pirate Radio, one of the movies Boston brought. It was pretty darn funny. By the time it was over, Sailor and I were both exhausted, so we called it a night and all went to bed.
