Fun

In Martinique we have a lot of fun.  We play football otherwise known as soccer.  I play it a lot. Sometimes I play with my friend Alec. Last week we played a big game against his sister and another teenage girl who is our neighbor.  The score for the first game was 4-10 we lost. The second game was 2-6. We only played half a game because the sun sets at 6pm and by 6:30 we couldn't see the ball anymore.  We lost but the girls were twice our size.

My dad just bought me a new basketball. It was on sale so it only cost $15! Last week I went to the park and played basketball with my friend Manau. It was fun! Good thing because in order to amortize such an expense my dad did an excel spreadsheet and figured that we'll have to play another 256 times. Only kidding!

You can also have a lot of fun making new friends at the beach and swimming.

There are a lot of tropical fish that you can see with a snorkel.  But you better watch out for the sea urchins.  If you come I can guide you around them and show you how to stay away from the rocks because that's where they grow.





And one final warning - beware of con artists even if they are beautiful and only four years old. A few weeks ago we went to the beach in St. Anne. It was your typical turquoise Caribbean sea but strangely you could swim for a very far distance and never be in deeper than your waist. After a swim we were resting on the beach and this young tatoo artist came by with her machine that made the most beautiful invisible tatoos in either green or purple. Then for her arduous labors she asked for a euro. Alex and Theo each got two invisible tatoos and I offered her the .50 that I had in my pocket. I figured she well earned her money in resourcefulness and in the halarity of the situation.
