Day 11 – The pool

Today, we decided to go back to the pool. It was a bit warmer, so we did a little bit of all of the pools. Then the girls discovered the outside shower – which had pretty cold water. They would go in the outside shower, then jump in the outside pool which was slightly warmer than the shower. We didn’t meet anyone today. We did find a private shower in the ladies restroom (unfortunately they can’t use the ones in the locker room of the fitness center like I had done on Saturday.) But it was nice to shower. Our shower at home leaked to the first floor twice last week so even though they said they fixed it, we were hesitant to use the shower part in the girls bathroom and the one in our bathroom has no curtain so that was not really an option for them either.

We stopped in the café attached to the pool for some lunch. It was pretty good – not just chicken nuggets or hot dogs like most places. Then we hurried home for a 4 o’clock meeting with the real estate agency representative to go over the house (and some of the things that needed to be fixed – I forgot how much fun it is being a renter:-). When I turned on my computer when we got home, Skype rang. It was Nora Galvin. We had totally forgotten it was the 4th of July today. They don’t really celebrate it here. So Emily and Ainsley got to chat with Nora and we got to give another tour of the house. Technology is truly amazing. We just walked around the house with the camera on the laptop. Truly amazing.

After the real estate agent and the guys to fix our washing machine left, it was a quiet rest of the day.
