Hey guys! Well trying to keep you updated...yesterday i was lazy. but i did get a working phone and a bus/metro pass which i really needed. besides that i didnt do much yesterday. ive actually gotten out today though. this morning i woke up and me and ariel went to the "rec center" here and turned in all the stuff i needed to get a pass. i went there a little later to work out and well the weight room is terrible. theres almost no machines and theres a hundred people crammed in a little room. then i went to the pool but turns out i need a little swimmers cap to go in. so it could have gone smoother but at least i got a little workout in. and ive realized that out here the first time i do something it never goes according to plan. i think with everything i do out here the more times i do it the better it is. i hope to go to the gym earlier so that there arent as many people and i will buy a cap tomorrow no matter how goofy i look in it. oh and i smelled cuz the people have a laundry machine here but no soap. so after working out i went and bought soap and the grocery stores here are actually pretty fun cuz theyve got some crazy stuff. then i came back to the bar near the house, had a beer, and read the marca newspaper (soccer newspaper). filled with ronaldo of course. it was amazing how much it made me relax and im feelin pretty good right now. ariel and marioja are coming back soon and gonna make me some lunch. -Miss you all-
