It's almost 5pm and everyone’s taking a siesta (even Toby the dog) so I decided to take this opportunity to write about the day. Alexia and I had a very interesting night… in the middle of my slumber I opened my eyes to find her wide awake starting at me. Haha the more I think about it the creepier it gets… she had had a bad dream and was trying to stay awake and had been hoping that I woke up and low and behold I did. After conforming that she was alive and able to communicate, we went back to sleep and woke up at 10:45 to Leila forcing our lazy butts out of bed.

We had a quick breakfast and got ready for the boat. Paul’s Uncle Jordi has a boat here and he took us for a ride to these islands that I saw the other night when I was our partying, we actually went right by the beach. After about 20 minutes we were there and found a place to tie up and relax. These islands are part of a conservation so we aren’t allowed to anchor or go fishing. Paul was, of course, the first one to jump in. It was freezing and he hung around the boat while everyone showed me the joys of Pringles. Jordi threw some pringle crumbs into the water and the fish instantly swarmed and were all around Paul. They were a gorgeous blue color with a black spot on their tail.
I was the last one to get in, I hate cold water and I like to take my time instead of jumping right in.. but once I got in I stayed in for the rest of the time there. Paul became very demanding and different people would get in the water to try and make him happy but for some unknown reason he was in a really bad mood and wouldn’t relax.

Alexia and I did some snorkelling and saw a lot of beautiful fish and enjoyed the turquoise water.
When we docked Paul was anxious to go back to the house and get in the pool so we began to walk back when he got sidetracked and wanted to swim at La Roca. So we walked down and he stood by the edge and just started peeing. So gross. So I pushed him in and he got out and was ready to go home. Naughty.

We had a nice lunch and everyone had a siesta. Then it was more pool time for Paul. The other kids were in the pool and playing around so Paul loved the company. Alexia and Laura even joined and got to know the cute neighbor they’ve been admiring for years.Dinner was at Jordi and Marina’s house and we enjoyed watching Spain play Chile in the World Cup match before a delicious paella, cooked by Jordi. I asked Ignacio why his brother knew how to cook and he didn’t and he said Jordi was exceptional.. and Ignacio DOES know how to cook…. Eggs. Nobody enjoyed the game more than Ramon, Paul’s grandfather. I swear he was about to pass out.. he commented on every play and would stand up and get close to the TV and quickly pour more alcohol into his cup so he wouldn’t miss anything. It was pretty hilarious to watch Spain play with the Spaniards. Paul didn’t last til dinnertime and went home with Leila after a few tears.
