Today, my family told me we were going swimming at their friend Alberto's. Alberto has a really cool country house with a pool. We spent some time swimming, and then went inside for some bread and soda. Alberto's house has a hammock that hung from the rafters! My host sibs wrapped themselves up like caterpillars, which I sadly couldn't express in Spanish.
Alberto also has a workshop at his house. He collects old antique-y things and fixes them up and makes them cool again. He also carves masks....the wooden kind you would buy as a souvenir on some island. They were so gorgeous and looked professionally done. Alberto tried to tell me they weren't very complicated to make, but I didn't believe him. His family doesn't like the country, so he comes here alone. He told us to come by whenever we want. Alberto is one cool dude.
