SATURDAY

Had a power bar for breakfast and some coffee, couple cups. Drank lots of water because I realized that I haven’t been making a point to doing that and I’m probably dehydrated which could be affecting my stomach. We had plans to go to the beach but it was raining in the morning so we culdnt go like we planned.
Went to the pool when the weather cleared up. It actually got really nice out so its kindof a bummer we didn’t go to the beach. When we got to the pool it was closed for cleaning because of the rain. Go figure! Internet wasn’t working either so we went back to the house. Was super sticky from lying out in the sun without being able to swim so the first thing I planned to do was take a shower. As I was leaning back to wet my hair I realized I was staring straight ahead at the biggest spider I have ever seen! I had been waiting for the inevitable day that I would see one huge African bug and there it was staring right at me in a venerable state. I hesitated for a moment, thought to myself … well this shower feels amazing is it going to be possible to keep my eyes on this thing the whole time im in here or should I get out before its too late. That thought didn’t last very long since I feel like it was growing infront of my eyes. Its legs were crazy thick and long. I’m going to say it was probably about the size of my head. And my noggin is a respectable size so you can just imagine how big this thing was. It was in that bathroom all day until I let Apeir know at which point he did the right thing and killed it.
Took two walks today, they were long ones and felt really good to get a little exercise!! When we were home we picked up some stars from next door and started to do some work. Kept doing trend research and some sketching.
Got hungry so we used the rest of the loaf of bread I had. Minced some garlic and rubber it on the bread with some butter and toasted it in a pan. Mixed tomato paste with some water, loads of garlic salt and hot spices to jazz it up. Had garlic toast and dipped it in the sauce. Tasted amazing!!
Worked on prints on the balcony most of the dayWent to Eli’s for dinner. Had snacks. French fries. Maria came back from Accra, brought one of the new volunteers with her. Her name is Clair.
