It was another relaxing weekend. It started with happy hour on Friday at the fancy Pastana Hotel Lounge. It was an expat meet up arranged by one of the British school teachers. It was cool because there were lots of other new, younger teachers like me. Many work at the other international school, but some work at the British school and some work at the German school. I'm excited to have some contacts apart from my co-workers. Also some other Big 10 fans that I can watch football with!
The after party was at a live music bar. I think it was a college bar, but it was fun anyway. The owner kept giving us free drinks. In typical Venezuelan fashion, the band was late and didn't come on until 1AM. Needless to say, it was a much later night than I had planned.
Saturday I had a BBQ at school that I had to attend. After a late night, it was rough waking up, walking up the hill, and being in charge of games; but it wasn't too bad for a school function. Surprisingly a lot of families showed up too.
When I got home from the BBQ there was a kitten at my door. I don't know how he got on the third floor but he was crying. I got a little bowl of water and put it outside my door for him but he didn't want it and kept meowing. When I went back into my apartment to see if I had any food he might like, he pushed open my cracked open door and came on in. I couldn't help but let him stay and play a while.
I would like to have kept him, but I am not allowed to have pets in my apartment and I plan to travel a lot anyway. I wasn't sure what to do with him. I felt bad leaving him outside in case he was homeless, but I think he must be one of my neighbors otherwise I don't know how he would have gotten into the building. So I left my little friend back out into the hallway. I hope I meet him again sometime :)
The evening ended with a Skype date movie night with Lane… Virtual dates, not as awesome as real ones. But we'll get to have some real ones in less than three weeks!
And then today I was missing the beach like most Sundays. I miss playing sand volleyball and riding my beach cruiser to the beach bars and listening to reggae at the pier. The highlight of my day was either my walk around the park with my other half of the math department, Walli. Or that the grocery store actually had tomato sauce, ketchup, coffee, and cous cous. Woo. But no bananas…Whaaaaat.
