We're gonna make ice cubes. Why? Because we can!!

THE FRIDGE HAS ARRIVED!! This is the best day so far. It's beautiful. And has a freezer part. I have never appreciated a household appliance so much in my life. It's amazing. We no longer have to drink warm water. And can eat fruit all the time. Starting cooking for ourselves this weekend coming. So no more egg!! Just makes things even better. In our excitement, we filled all our water bottles from our lukewarm water container and into the fridge they went. We even made ice even though we have nothing to put it in... Can't wait to make some iced coffee. The coffee out here is FANTASTIC. And Trinidad has many coffee plantations surrounding it, so it's cheap!

This weekend we spent more time with our hosts. Conchita (principle of the school and our surrogate mother for the year, as she told us), her husband (Dr Allan) and two sons (Juan and Rodriguez). After lunch on sunday, they asked us if we enjoyed football, as Barcelona were playing. Of course I said yes. And we headed to the living room to watch the game. Here I bonded with, particularly, the men of the household, with our joint hate of Real Madrid (mostly Cristiano Ronaldo) and our love of Messi. Barcelona won the game, and they asked if we wanted to watch Real Madrid lose.. Naturally we said yes! We seemed to get on much better, things were more relaxed, we joked and they invited us to go with them on day trips if we wanted. Which we agreed to! This was all done in broken Spanish on our part and much gesturing on their part. Giving us a small sense of achievement that they actually understood us! I'm feeling more and more at home the more I get to know people here. They're very welcoming. And considerate of our lack of Spanish. We can only improve!
