Today Katie and I woke up around 11 and Katie was sick. We
went downstairs and drank some tea and had breakfast, and then went back to her
room and talked for a while and looked through her old pictures on Facebook. I
went back to my house in micro around 2, and my family was eating lunch. I sat
down to eat with them and told them all about my weekend and thanked them for
letting me stay and get my fill of friends when I really needed it. We talked
for a while, and then around 4 Cata came over on her bike and rode with me to
pick up my backpack full of stuff from Mariana’s house and then back to her
house. We talked for a while and it was so perfect to catch up with Cata.
She’s
like my best friend here, and I feel so comfortable and happy with her, and it
had been way too long since we’d last seen each other. We swam in the pool and
then sat outside to sunbathe for a while, and then we went back upstairs to get
dressed. Her family dropped us off in the center of town around 7 because our
friend Joaco’s theater was doing a free show at 8 and we wanted to go see him.
We walked around the center a while and she showed me her dad’s store called La
Casa Zuniga that’s in the center. Then we went back to the place where the show
was—outside a school in the middle of a circle of desks. We sat in the desks
and watched a bunch of actors dressed up as animals walk around pretending to
be their animals. Then after a while the show started and we found out that it
was George Orwell’s Animal Farm in Spanish.
It was definitely interesting,
although I didn’t understand very much because we were outside and they didn’t
have microphones. The costumes were hilarious because they really did look like
their animals. After the show finished, we went to congratulate Joaco and then
we went in collectivo back to Cata’s house and then her mom dropped me off at
my own house around 11. It was all around a great day with Cata, and I want to
see a lot more of her. At home, I Skyped for a while with Emily and Kim-Sa
before going to sleep around 1.
