Last weekend, most of the volunteers headed down to Monkey Point to pick up our valiant community liaisons were winding up their 2 month stint of living and working in the community. As a result, the house was incredibly quiet with only 5 of us still around. Over at Stephanie and my little house, things weren't nearly as silent as we had visitors starting around 8 am on Saturday. Shocked that we hadn't already been up for 4 hours (despite having been out dancing the night before with the same friends until at least 1am), our friends showed up to see what we might have on offer for the day. Not really having any plans for the weekend, we opted for a nice homemade breakfast and multiple rounds of Dominos. In fact, I believe we ended up playing Dominos until at least 2pm that day. I know you're all probably thinking, how in the world could a game as simple as dominos be entertaining for that long, but you have no idea. The way they play down here keeps you on your toes! For those of you in my family, watch out! we've got a new game to compete with Trumps! I have a feeling you're all gonna love it. Of course, you might have to come down here and play with 2 of my friends here to really get into it. These guys are truly amazing. After 2 or 3 tiles are laid, they already know where the game's going. In some cases, they lay down their first tile with the exclamation that they're gonna win. So far, they haven't been proved wrong in those cases.
In any case, we passed a lovely, properly Nica morning playing dominos and watching our supply of rum mysteriously disappear throughout the day. Around about 2pm we decided we'd had enough and kicked the boys out so we could shower and start our day.
The rest of the day consisted of more good food, a few rounds of pool and a night on the town. Not too bad for a lazy saturday in Bluefields.
