Oh Where To Begin?!

Its been 2 days!!! There is lots to talk about =D

Friday July 30th:
Woke up to go to this volunteer camp to take pictures. It was 7am and I did not want to be awake. Just saying. But as soon as I got to camp I took everyone energy and I was up and running. Not physically running, but I was walking around taking picture. That is my job here anyway. I was walking around taking pictures, which I will download when I find the time. And talking to the volunteers. They then invited me to an island known as Rum Island which is in a town call Samana. So I was totally down for that and they gave me all the info for meeting them in the morning. At 12:30 or so they had a water balloon fight and it was great fun. I got some fun shots of them throwing water around. The kids just loved it. It was really hot and everyone enjoyed the water. I however did not get wet, and I told them if they did get me wet I was going to kill someone. I had my Nikon D60 in my hand and if that broke I was literally thinking about killing.
After camp I sat around with my newly found friends waiting for my mother to pick me up, I found it to be so middle school. You know when you get dropped off at like the mall and when its time to be picked up you have to wait around for your ride. . . kind of embarrassing, but eh.
When I got back to the house, I found everyone to be really lazy. Then I found out that everyone (My step-dad, mom, and guest) were sick! They all have/had the stomach flew. I believe its was a 24 thing because they are all feeling better today. Anyway, so they were not fun at all. . . then the chefs came out and said that they were on a mission for fish. I asked if I could tag along and they said yes. So we went to the Cabrera docks to see what the fisherman caught that day and I took pictures of course. But they ended up not having anything. They said that it was a bad day for fish. Well the chefs still needed fish so we had to drive up to Rio San Juan to find out that THEY didn't have fish either. While driving back one of the locals chefs said that he knew a place on the way home that might have fish. So we stopped and they finally found some fish that they could use.
When we got home, there was no internet. So for the rest of the day/night we watched old movies on tv and sat around talking. It was actually nice to get away from the computer for a day. My mom went a little crazy. It was sad to see that she NEEDED the internet to stay entertained/busy.

Saturday July 31st:
Woke up at around 7:30 and met the group around 8:10ish am= in the morning. We drove 2 hours to a town called Samana. It was a long, bumpy, squished ride for some. When we got there we took at ehhh . . . I'd say a 10 minute boat ride to the island. When we got to Rum Island, some wanted to start drinking and others wanted to beach it for a little then start drinking. I was in the mind set of I don't want to drink in the sun then have to go back on that boat and in a 2 hour car ride. So I was planning on not drinking. So I went and beached it for a couple hours, then we had lunch, then we went back to beach it. THEN we got our hands on a volleyball played two games with three on a team, I had the team that had been drinking. They were hilarious! Who cares that we lost both games. . . we definitely had more fun. Then we beached for a 30minutes then went back for the last game where we had some locals join in and at that point we didn't keep score. We just played for fun, and we had a blast. 2hours and 10minutes later we were home again where I was dropped off at my community gate and walked home. It was a pleasant walk, didn't actually know how far it was untill maybe 1/2 way. haha But whatever, I walked into my house with my mom asking if I wanted any chicken wings. I was like hell yah! So I ate some chicken wings, talked about my day to the fam. . . got told that I couldn't go out tonight because I didn't have a ride. I was a little p.o'd about that. But now I'm blogging and relaxing on my bed. About the shower and sleep! woohoo!!

Buenas Noches!!
