Camp Post:
We decided to stay in camp on Sunday. There were no tours and we were pretty beat from the trains and all. We woke up around 9 had breakfast at the bar and then headed out to the pool. After getting all set up some of the camp employees came up to us to try to get us to do the water spin class...after a while we agreed (it was free and we'd never done such an activity before). This was a 30 minute class where they put these special spin bikes right in the pool and you do ridiculous workouts to techno American music! Our instructor was very enthusiastic and would bee bop to the music as he sang and gave instructions. Greg was actually moving around in the water because he was peddling so hard! After this we lounged by the pool. I overheard an employee mock the Irish boy next to us, he said, “Nice tan, where are you from, Ireland?” The pale boy replied that he was in a heavy Irish accent. And the employee then laughed and said, yea we can all tell.
SUN! Greg's Euro bathing suit
Bruchetta, daily dance performance
Gelato and more poolside entertainment
The pool bar had wonderful food so Greg surprised me with the most delicious brushetta (olive oil, tomatoes, onions, and tuna). After a while longer, and a few dips in the pool we had Gelato poolside also, YUMMY YUM YUM! We took a nap when all the stores closed then decided to rent some mountain bikes and check out the camp. We did some light hiking at a creek/ waterfall we found and we ran into some interesting animals...
The hills were so steep I had to walk a lot, but coming down was great! We went back to the grocer and got only my favorite food in the world...watermelon and Gorgonzola and apricot jam!
Heading out!
Me playing by a waterfall and a BEAVER!
Deer and an ostrich!!
Animals were everywhere...right before we found the ostrich!
Our little hiking experience
Dinner time!
The camp train!
We had a skype conversation with Kaylyssa and while we were showing her the Gelataria the chef for the restaurant beside it came out and was cutting fresh herbs from the garden next to us! Then we thought we'd do some real Peace Corps preparation and hand wash our clothes using the scrub boards that were built into the sinks! It took us 30 minutes and our backs were quite sore but it worked, our clothes were super clean and smelled great! The hardest part was the rinsing and wringing them out! Off to Rome we go!
"Who's ready for Peace Corps!!? WE ARE!"
