This month it dawned upon me that it had been over ten years since I last rode a water slide.
Unacceptable, and a trip to the local pool was scheduled with my family. Upon arrival, surrounded by colourful green gardens, we both thought we had finally found a little piece of paradise in our back end town. The coming months would be full of weekends and afternoons spent sunbathing and relaxing by the pool and picnicing amongst the avocado trees. Sadly, the next day the pool closed for the entire winter and we were left crying over our rapidly ripening avocados. Not before numerous runs on the slides, friction burn wedgies and high speed adrenaline with my new hermanos.
Luckily the next weekend we were taken to my family’s beach house on the coast for another sunny weekend, arriving just in time to see the fishermen bringing in their catch and throwing the scraps to two enormous seals playing in the bay. We bought enough seafood to feed a small army and spent the next 2 days holed up in the beach house, feasting on our haul and being taught dominos over numerous Chilean cervezas. Perfect relaxation after the first few weeks of teaching the increasingly boisterous Chilean 'Joven' and giving our voices a much needed rest!
