Day 3 in Pico
So I start today's blog with many mixed emotions. I'm happy to be where I am surrounded by family and friends and i can say that i feel like i'm home. BUT today i got some very bad news from Toronto...A friend of mine was stabbed in the chest and died in the hospital on Friday night. We weren't the best of friends but we were friends nonetheless. Thank goodness they caught the guy, i just hope that the Canadian Justice System doesn't fuck this up like they do many others. So Nelson wherever you are i hope your at peace.
So let's change the mood of this blog. My day started with me waking up at 11am local time but really it was 7 am for me. The weather still isn't the fun in the sun kind but it was enough to get me bronzer than what I came here with. I had the urge to go fishing me and Diogo went down to the docks had a quick lunch and dropped the lines in the water... my mother came by to check on us a few times was great she even brought my grandmother who sat in the car watching us... now this isn't like going to go fishing at the lake which I realized after 5 minutes of fishing. I didn't catch a damn thing for 4 hours. But my mother coming by to check on us a few times was great she even brought my grandmother who sat in the car watching us. I changed my method... i put down the fishing pole... grabbed a fresh line put a hook and sinker on the end of it and tied it to my finger... within 10 mins i caught 4 small fish YAY i was so happy, but after 4 hours i was done and decided i was gonna go for a swim. Now i'm not the type to do product placements but Mountain Equipment Co-op has an amazing contraption that allows you to put your Digital Camera underwater to take some pics. OH AND DID I EVER TAKE SOME.
The day was mostly overcast and rain spit here and there and i'll say it over and over again... I'm having a blast. so much excitement and i'm already starting to realize that my days here are numbered it's time to get
take advantage of every minute i can. Came home for some dinner after a day at the docks. Mom made some spagetti with meat sauce, I have to say that I do miss my mom's cooking. We then went to my Aunt restaurant had a coffee and went to the beach house to clean it up ... there will be a town festa this coming weekend so my mom decided it needed cleaning. we went and watch bull fights on the TV that her boyfriend had filmed live. WOW. He's Crazy! My cousin Pedro showed up and met us with some beers. Great times!
After everything is clean we pack up and start to head over to clube naval, which is just a bar right at the docks. I met Cristina and Diana there we had a drink and went for a walk. Well since I'm on an Island we don't have gas lines so the gas is imported so that people can run their homes. here's a picture of the boat it gets here on:
Now get this Guess what the boat is called lol sorry if you get offended that i'm laughing.
We continued on our walk and snapped some shots. The thing that sucks about vacationing with family is that they work when you don't so our night got cut short some. This blog is getting super long so i'll save some for tomorrow it is another day :P
