14th July

Today it was very warm and not much wind so it was very clammy, me and sam got invited after doing some work to join Tamara who sold ice creams and refreshments down in the park, she asked us if we would like anything i choose the ice cream which had the most chocolatte on it and it went down a treat, there isnt much variety of chocolatte to choose from where in Riosecco and this has been a struggle for me as i do love my chocolatte haha.
Gemma and Carah were on the boat today, they had given all the children colour sheets and crayons. There was a little boy called Alejandro that was very cute, they were playing peek-a-boo with him and doing what they are very good at, which is entertaining small children, his brother then starting joining in and his mum and dad were aparntly very nice.
After a long day we all decided to go out for a few drinks for making it half way and to celebrate some of the challenges we had overcome and being without our loved ones for 2 weeks. When we walk throught Riosecco town everyone stares at us like were aliens, Rebeca had explained to us that because it is a very small village everybody knows each other and becauase we look like typical brits and didnt blend in with there skin tone it was obvious that we wernt local.
We went to a restuarant that we hadnt tried before and me and Gemma orderd a pizza and Carah just ordered chips, sam didnt have anything as he couldnt wait for food and ate before we came out. It turns out that mine and Gemmas eyes were bigger than our belly and Sam ended up eating the left over pizza!
We then went to a street party and nobody was dancing at all, me and Gemma decided to get the party started and show the spanish how to dance !
Sam and Carah sat down laughing there heads of and having another drink in a bar opposite were the party was. Me and Gemma was ddancing with the local crazy man

As you can tell her wasnt a full shilling but he was harmless and was making us laugh dancing with us and letting us try on his sombrao.
Eventually Sam and Carah come over to join the fun and by this point there was a few other people dancing too. We couldnt beleive it when the first english song come on which was ´saturday night´, none of the spanish people new how to do the dance so they were all copying us and by the end of the song we had the whole street dancing too it!
When the spanish music came on we were copying all the spanish locals dance moves as they are very different to how us english shake it!



This night ended with Gemma putting Carah to bed haha!
