Weekend update

I realise I haven’t blogged for Saturday, for which I am sincerely sorry. I’ve had a very nice, relaxed weekend. The coverage of premier league football is superb so I spent the morning watching arsenal scrape over the line with a 1-0 victory over QPR. After a few of us went to a beach 10 minutes out of the town called 'La Loberia'. The shallow waters are very rocky which makes it a great place for snorkelling. I went out for a look and the visibility was incredible. I saw hundreds of fish and 3 or 4 huge sea turtles floating about relaxing to the max. Back on the beach a smaller turtle landed on the beach to get his tan on and we also spotted a metre long marine iguana catching some rays on a rock. It’s incredible how relaxed all the wildlife is around humans. It’s almost as though they’re equals. Except they’re not. obviously. We then moved on to a different beach after where we chilled and watched the sunset, which was quite something. One could even go as far to call it picturesque.

In the evening we went out for a few drinks as it was the final night of a couple of a volunteers. I consequently discovered the Galapagos equivalent of the end of night kebab. Outside a bar they had practically half a chicken on skewers being grilled. But not like a chicken shish, literally half a chicken including the legs and wings, bones and all. I could hardly restrain myself but somehow I did. There’s always next time. I’ve actually found a gym in the town so I can actually work off the kilo of rice I eat each meal. Today (Sunday) has been a very lazy and unproductive day, as every Sunday should be. I thought a bit about what I should teach the kids tomorrow and concluded another lesson spent on the future tense was necessary, as they’re not quite getting it. Like yesterday I went to the beach for the sunset and then headed into town for some dinner with the Aussies who are off tomorrow morning. And so now I am now in my room writing this and thinking it’s time for an early night. Up early tomorrow morning to get some tedious errands done, like going to the bank etc. so I will be sure to tell you all about how my cash withdrawal goes. Until next time amigos.
