6 February 2011

Woke up pretty early, and started with the usual morning chores. Dishes, coffee, watering the garden. The neighbors had started having a party last night apparently, or early this morning and woke me up laughing and singing at 5am. Dave and I were talking about it later in the day and decided that they had to be on P, (which is what they call Meth out here), cause there was no way people could laugh that hard for that long without being on drugs more than alcohol.

I started making some yogurt while Dave played his guitar. There are these cool packets out here that contain dehydrated milk and bacteria that are in yogurt, you add warm water, let it sit for 10 hours and voila! You have yogurt. Sweet as!
After a bit, I started making curtains for the caravan. We bought some turquoise fabric, its beautiful and ironically will match the caravan in some weird way. I finished 2 curtains for the back window while Dave helped Matt haul some dead trees around and then we headed to the beach. It was so hot!!! We rode our bikes there and had a blast!!! The waves were really strong that day and kept knocking me over, literally. Dave would get hit pretty hard, but always seemed to land on his feet. I on the other hand, would get thrown, with the bottoms of my swimsuit ending up around my knees. Dave would laugh and try to help me up, while I was laughing too hard to tell him that my swimsuit was off and I had to pull it up. One time my boob popped out and we decided to move away from groups of people. Whoops!

It was Dave’s parents anniversary today, so they met us at the beach after a while, we hung out in the little pools around the rocks. We gave them a bottle of vodka and some flowers to celebrate. Dave and I headed home soon after cause we were quite hungry. At home, we made a version of nicoise salad, which was cheap and delicious. I think it cost us $3.25 per person and was a great feast. (Free ingredients from the garden: lemon for salad dressing, lettuce, kale, green beans, and potatoes. Bought ingredients: Tomato= 25 cents, onion= 50 cents, eggs= 50 cents for 2, can of tuna= $2, garlic= cheap. It was delicious!!!
