JULY 12 Cao,
This will be a short blog today, I spent a lot of time just lounging around and trying to play catch up on my rest and relaxation.
After spending the morning working in the office, I went downtown to buy some souvenirs and gifts to take home for and friends. Ljiljana, Paul, Danko and myself went down to the walking street and had a great time just leisurely walking around and enjoying the beautiful day, and in Danko’s case, the beautiful women. Ljilana treated me to my first fig. I don’t think I live a sheltered life but I have never had a fig by itself before. I have had fig cooked with other things but never just a fig. It was good, I didn’t know what to expect but I liked it. Ljiljana said that these were not fresh figs but I thought they were ok.
We also had a ceremonial sandwich exchange. All of the volunteers with the World University Game get two boxed lunches a day. I see volunteers all over the village eating these sandwiches and I really wanted to try one. They are only available for volunteers but Danko said that he would steal me one. All of the volunteers are sick of them (since they have been eating them twice a day for two weeks) so he was pretty surprised when I said I wanted one. But he stole one for me and we had a little ceremony downtown of him giving me the sandwich. The volunteers are right, the sandwiches are not that good and I am sad to say that mine ended up in a garbage can somewhere downtown.
