Not a whole lot to report today.
In the morning we walked over to the bakery to buy some bread, as we are having company tomorrow but basically nothing is open on Sunday. Monday is also a church holiday, so we're hoping for beach weather. We also bought cucumbers and tomatoes and cereal and yogurt and chunks of three different cakes. The fantastic thing about this trip is that my mom is much more likely to buy me sweets than in the States. Plus we're having company, so we must have cake.
Then we walked on the beach for three hours, like the bosses we are. It was warm and sunny for most of the walk, and I was wearing shorts to I could walk in the water with the waves crashing around my ankles and it was just l o v e l y. I love the beach to bits, if you haven't noticed.
On the beach, we bought ice cream from a walking vendor. Then, on the walk back when we switched to the pavement towards the end, my mom bought me a gofry, or waffle, with whipped cream and chocolate with cherries. I should mention that my mom tasted the chocolate and pronounced it SPIKED. Hardcore. We're just perpetuating the stereotypes here. I wish I had at least internet, if not my best friend (the dictionary), to make sure I'm using "perpetuating" correctly.
Before we got home, we stopped at one of the many supermarkets, where we bought pear-mint chocolate, pear-black currant chocolate, and some other sweets.
When we got back, I finished re-reading Paper Towns by John Green, I've now read both the books I brought, which means I'll be stealing The Catcher in the Rye from my mom when she isn't reading it, and probably re-re-reading The Hunger Games and Paper Towns.
Then I played Pokemon. However, Victory Road was beginning to stump and annoy me, as I couldn't get out no matter how many times I walked through the same caves. I went out on the balcony, looking for more internet connections. I found a second network that didn't have a password, but I couldn't connect. I think it might be something with Poland vs. Netbook.
"I'm bored."
"You can call grandma and see if you can go over and use the internet."
"I'm not going to call!"
-phone rings-
"I WIN."
So, like the major boss that I am, I walked the entire block-and-a-half trip to my other grandparents' house by myself. Now, walking at home is like, "Whatever, dude." But walking here is like, "You'd better hustle your ass to your destination lest some drunkard stumble your way and decide that now would be a lovely time to commit the crime of rape." Carrying a netbook in my bag wasn't helping the whole situation, so I walked pretty damn fast over there. My mom picked me up, luckily.
My netbook didn't even end up picking up connection there, so I just used my grandmother's hardly-used laptop with this wireless card thing that gives you internet anywhere in Poland. It was slow, but I mean, it was internet. I went three--almost three-and-a-half--days without the thing. I'm an internet geek. I'm more comfortable and confident there than in real life; it's like living without something vital like food or water or air. I was glad to hang around on the internet for a couple hours. Plus I looked up how to get through Victory Road, which I did when I got home. Didn't update the blog because the posts are on the netbook.
We also bought postcards.
Tomorrow we're going for church at 8am and we're having company, so I should really get to bed. Which I'm fine with, because I'm tired. That walk was, you know, tiring.
