Day 35 - 7 August 2005 "studyin" today was just another chill sunday...until the kids got a hold of my digicam...then they went crazy! "tra un foto, tra un foto!" over and over they did, takin tons o’ pics and a few videos. I taught the oldest boy how to work it and he caught on right away basically. the princess pretty much tried to hoard it and the boys eventually said that the batteries died and turned it off, handing it off to me which sparked a riotous txora (crying) fit from the princess...eh. she got over it in a matter of minutes. so I took off to go "study" kriolu with one of the legs of the tripod and she told me of her unusual encounter with her host brother. she was kinda trippin, and understandably so...hope that doesn’t escalate to a point of extreme distrust amongst the ranks. so the third leg of the tripod came over and we ended up teachin home court advantage how to play 13. bombs away! of course the two mutts would have a bit of the 13 runnin thru our veins. I never thought I’d be playin that card game here of all places. funny what li’l things can bring people together...wonder who else knows how to play... <--- FESTA!                ka ten luz --->
