Its one of those things where you're like....i need to do that...whoops forgot to blog again....and day after day more stories happen and finally you're dreading blogging....or doing whatever you're supposed to do because it's become too big! :) well i'm taking it on now....hopefully i wont forget too much.
ooooooook here it goes.
Alright it was the last few days that mom and dad were here and that was probably some of the best memories that i will ever have.
Tara's Milana's and my family all went out for a late night beverage.
I think i might have mentioned that the World University Olympic Games were going on while we were here.....anyway we see a group of chinese coaches and mom being her curious self wanted a pic of them because of them singing and laughing....she wanted a picture of everything. go mom! :) anyway...so she got her pic, then they found out she was american and wanted pics with her! hahaha, well i decided to go investigate. So i went to say hello and they wanted a pic with me. Then the band that was playing came over to our table (back w/ the rest of our extended fam) and they played and played and played! they were REALLLLLY GOOD! so finally we decided we wanted to dance. right there. in the middle of this old street with a bunch of people there having dinner. we didnt care. so all of us ladies got up and started dancing to traditional serbian folk music! it was a blast! :)
the next day we decided to go to Ada. I've been spending a lot of time at ada. Ada is a big lake that was made by damming up part of a river. The beach has rocks instead of sand which hurt my feet, but thas ok. There are a bunch of restrurants by day and clubs by night there right on the beach. So since it was during the day we decided to go get some sun. mom, dad, milana, tara and i went to relax at ada. That was nice. Later that day we decided to go on a boat ride down the Sava river. (kids see if you can find it on the map) The boat ride was a little chilly so we were all cuddled close to keep warm. we saw Gypsies washing their clothes in the river and kids waving at the boat from the train that passed on a bridge that crossed over us. There was a talking bird on the boat too!!!!!! He whistled alot. THEN!!!!!!!!!! A HUGE STORM CAME IN! We got back on land and went inside of a restrurant. and 3 mins later it started to POUR!!!! it was CRAZY how much rain was coming down. They got 3 inches in probably....oh an hour of so. some of the streets were flooded which ment that a taxi wouldnt come get us. soooo we had to climb a big hill to where the town was at and go hop on a bus.
The next day we had to take mom and dad to the airport. That was kind of sad....but in the end ok at the same time. They were ready to go back, and if any of you see my dad TELL HIM TO GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!!! His back was bothering him the entire trip and a birdie told me that he wont go get it fixed. he's so stubborn.
Later that night the girls and i wanted to go out. so we went to a place called Splav. A Splav is a club that is on a the river...kind of like a floating building. we danced allll night!
The next day...we slept in preeeetty late. we didnt get back home till about 4:30am and so we were tired! by the time we got up it was about noon. the girls asked me what i wanted to do. And i answered with "i wanna go to the zoo" i felt like a little kid again. It was so much fun.
we saw hippos, lions, bears, tigers, cheetas, mountain lions, big kitties, wolves, raccoon....kangaroos....wambats....and so much more. :) i had a ton of fun. we went back to taras that evening for dinner.
by the way....i onlly have 2 meals a day here...one around 9 or 10 depending on when we wake up....and another at 5 or 6. if i dont loose weight while i'm here i dont know how i would! the eat sooo well! fresh food all the time. and fresh bread....eh, i'm going to miss the fresh food once i leave.
well thats about it so far. Theres probably some stuff that i forgot, but....thats all my pics reminded me of! so i'm not off to ada with tara. milana is teaching a little boy sapnish right now. so its just me and tara for the afternoon. :)
Much love
amanda
