On Saturday after breakfast I did my Ohio homework while Dad and A walked to San Juan and back. Then A did her homework while I walked to the pine tree with Dad. The pine tree is not really a pine tree it’s a tower for cell phones, made to look like a pine tree.

On Sunday morning we went to the market up the hill next to the church. I saw sombreros that I really liked that were brown, black, and tan. People were selling fish and crab and shrimp. There was a lot of people at the market and the streets were narrow. After that we took a boat to Panajachel. We shopped in another market there, we were looking for a kite for our friend AL’s birthday but we couldn’t find a kite so we bought nail polish for her. We ate lunch in Panajachel and I had a drink that had fresh lime juice and fizzy soda water. Then we went to the birthday party.

At first the birthday party was boring. But then all the kids showed up and it started being fun. We played hide-and-seek and tag with a girl we met there before. There was music and a clown, and once when the clown was looking for boys I went up and we did a fun thing, we had to blow up a balloon and tie it and run and pop it on our mom’s or dad’s lap. There was a pinata for the boys and one for the girls, the girl one Smurfette and the boy one was Buzz Lightyear. The cake was frozen.

We had to take a boat home and when I was on the boat I was going to get out and then I hit my second to last baby tooth on the boat and the tooth fell out and in to the water.
