Week 4-Cadiz July 23

Day 1



We went to low tide but it wasn’t exactly low tide. I went crabbing I found a baby crab and a crab about the same size as Crabby. Then we went to the Old Town to look at markets. We had a hard time finding squares with markets. Once we found a market it was close to the place we were going to eat lunch at. The markets were sort of interesting I found stuff that I liked but we never got anything. After we ate lunch we got ice cream at the same place we had lunch. I got a flavor nobody tried before. When I got to the bottom there were chunks of what it was. When I tried a chunk I instantly knew what it was, it was crème caramel! Then we went home and to the beach. At the beach Jasmin and I hung out and watched the boys, they were getting tossed around in the waves. Lukas went under at one point and didn’t come up until he was very close to the shore. Then the boys went and did something in the sand. They almost blended in with the wall. We went home for supper and came back to the beach to watch the sun set but when we got there the sun had already set.


Day2


We went to low tide it wasn’t really low. I found one crab. When we came back mom waited for me to finish my blog (week 3). When I finally finished (according to mom) the boys were already for the beach. When we got there, instead of it being high tide it was lower than when we went to low tide in the morning. Jasmin made us go over to the right because there were rocks where we were. Then Jasmin got satisfied in the rocks and we went way over to the left and jumped off a rock. The boys came over and we showed them our paradise. They jumped off the rock a few times. Then we escorted them back to mom. We went back to jump off the rocks Jasmin cut her knee. So we went in. I helped by getting napkins from the nearest beach restaurant. While everything was happening Lukas was building a whole. We all decided to help him, when we were done it was a key to the water (they way the people [we made up] worshiped their water gods). After we were done mom took tons of pictures of it and we went home. Two hours later we came back for our walk along the beach. We saw our creation; the key (bottom) part had gotten swallowed up by the water. When we were done our walk it was just a lump of sand, we all stood on it and mom took our picture.






Day 3


We went to two parks the first one was very boring. There was this little house with a slide, and a stove inside. The second park was much more interesting. It was sort of like a jungle gym. There was a moving balance beam, a spinning thing, ropes, rock wall, monkey bars, and a ladder that led to nowhere. Then we went home Jasmin played POPTROPICA on the computer. When she was done I played. Then we went to the beach it wasn’t low tide any more. We talked in the waves; we also made a little town. Ben almost broke it when we were leaving but Jasmin stopped him!


Day 4






We went on my walk! It was awesome! I got to be the leader and push buttons on the bus, I felt so special. The walk was Castles and Fortresses. I really liked the gardens we walked through, even though we already have been through them. The third last thing on the walk was cool; it had a moat around it. Inside was a museum and if you went up stairs it was an outside balcony sort of thing with little rooms that I think they shot bow and arrows or guns through to stop the unwanted boats from coming in. We had lunch on the last thing of the walk. We also had ice cream there. When we got home Jasmin went on the computer and then we went to the beach. We went to a different beach. We went to the one next to ours. The waves were much bigger even though it was low tide and it was very shallow despite the big waves, we had so much fun. When we left mom told us that we might not go to that beach again because she couldn’t see us, and there were tons of people.


Day 5


We went to go and get a clip for me and a new plate because one broke. We found clips at the first place we went to. Mom found a plate but she wanted to keep looking. When we got home mom used the computer a lot but it wasn’t really a long time because we went to the beach. Instead of hanging out Jasmin and I wave surfed a lot. When we got out to leave, the boys went into the water to play so Jasmin and I occupied ourselves by writing stuff in the sand. We wrote ALIA [heart] LUONGO!!


Day 6


We went on Ben’s walk today. At first he got mad at us because we were in front of him. I liked all the churches, arches, and the museums (pretty much everything). I liked the cathedral museum and the cathedral’s bell tower. My favorite thing in the museum was the gold room. It was so pretty to see everything made of gold especially the gold cathedral that you put the Eucharist in at Easter. The last thing on Ben’s walk was very interesting because it was inside the arch. The museum was a printing press museum; mom thought it was cool because her mom (grandma) used to do something like it. Then we went to the beach. Jasmin and I wave surfed until mom came in then we talked to mom. When mom went out Jasmin and I teased each other until we got cold then we wrote stuff in the sand. We wrote the exact same thing as yesterday and JASMIN IS AWSOME!! Then we helped the boys finish their sand castle Jasmin helped Lukas with castle part and I helped Ben with the road.


Day 7


Beach day! We went to the beach and walked to the end. I caught one crab. Then we went home to have lunch and came back out to the beach. Jasmin and I played with the torpedo but instead of throwing it into the waves we threw it at each other and tried to catch it. Then we went home and had supper and came back to the beach and explored the rocks. We all found hermit crabs and we tried to race them. That didn’t work out so well so Jasmin dug a whole with her foot and we put the hermit crabs in the water and they moved so fast. When Jasmin picked hers up it clung to her finger and never came off. When we had to go home Jasmin’s hermit crab was still on her finger so Ben, mom, and me ran home because I needed to go to the bathroom.
