THE WEEKEND OF SEMANA SANTA



Friday we had the day off school because of Semana Santa. My co-teacher invited me to her house to have lunch with her family. I took her up on her offer and was excited about it. She lives in San Antonio, its like 10 minute in bus from Cartagena. San Antonio is a much bigger city, and is where I will have to go if I need to comprar. My gentleman of a brother escorted me by bus to her house. She lives on a cliff that has the most amazing view of the ocean and of the port. Patty is a very nice lady. We talked in her living room for about an hour and listened to some Cat Stevens. I was loving it. Now every time I hear morning has broken, I’m going to think of this day, so great!


After I got from Patty’s my brother and I met up with some of hi friends and drank some beers on the beach. Because it was Easter weekend the beach was full of people. After our beers they wanted me to check out the laguna. It was closed, but naturally with boys we hopped the fence and entered. It was beautiful, reminded me of home and the back bay. We did some bird watching and had some good laughs.
When I got home to our house, my dad’s sister and family was there. Great group of people. I enjoyed the uncle the most, always handing me glasses of red wine… I was like HELL YEAH! We all over-ate and told stories, it was a good mellow night.





Saturday I woke up late around 12 and chilled with my brothers and primos all day.  During they night however I went to my first Asado in San Antonio for the birthday of my brothers friend. ASADOS are like BBQ’s. I got to meet a lot of his friends from the University and eat some dank food. We drank all night long, it rocked!
