This weekend is pretty boring. It’s our only Saturday that doesn’t have like an excursion planned. <\/p>\n
I played soccer with some Russians for like 45 minutes on a tiny field like fenced in with fake grass. It was weird but kind of fun. I’m kind of bored though, but at least it’s nice to have this time to myself, and not worry about having to be ready at a certain time for something. <\/p>\n
A group of people from our program went to see Indiana Jones and asked whoever wants to come can, but I didn’t want to. First of all it’s like 300 rubles, and also it’s dubbed in Russian. So I don’t feel like spending that much just to listen to stuff I don’t understand. <\/p>\n
Tomorrow is Sunday, and another day with nothing planned, so I’ll see if anyone else wants to take a walk or anything. I brought two books (one mine, and “The Audacity of Hope”) and I thought that would be fine but I finished my first one on Thursday so I’m kind of bored, but I might go read Obama’s on the beach. <\/p>\n
My hotel is about 100 meters from the beach, but it’s not as good as it sounds. It’s disgusting. Like there is trash ALL over the beach. Like people don’t care too much about littering. And there is stuff from when they were demolishing buildings they just put the rubble on the beach because I guess it was cheaper than taking care of it. So there are like big pieces of concrete there. And tires and pieces of cars and stuff. But it’s still kind of pretty if you just don’t look down, because the sun is all pretty when it “sets” even though it doesn’t get dark, the sun goes below the horizon though. And we’re here on the Gulf so it’s nice.<\/p>\n
Otherwise things are going well. Good to hear updates from you guys! Hope you’re having a nice, uneventful time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
