I was lying down on the reclining beach chair, when Aniva asked if I would play kicks with her, I got up and started passing the soccer ball with my sister. After we got bored of that game we all looked at the menu and ordered one plate of crayfish but the waiter said one plate is enough for one person or thats what we thought he said as he said this in portuguese, so we ordered 2 plates and some chips. After everyone was full we took some home to have for dinner.
