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.

The sound of rain hitting the roof was a new sound, today it is raining very hard and the wind is also strong. Today was not a good day for anything that involved leaving the flat. Today there are 4 games on so we ran from our flat to the closet bar and sat down for the USA vs Germany. Germany won 1-0 but USA will still go through to the round of 16. Before the second game started, Dad and I went for a swim in the rain. After we got back we watched the Algeria vs Russia game. Then I finished writing this and will go to bed.

Dad heard that you could learn how to kite surf down the road about 4km. After taking a taxi there he asked us if we would like him to pick us up at 4:00 we said yes and paid him for the taxi ride here and back to the flat at 4:00. Dad soon discovered that today it was too windy to kitesurf so he hired a surfboard. After dad came out of the surf we had lunch which took a long time to make but tasted really good. Then we walked back down to a really wavy part of the beach where the waves could easily knock over any one but because of the outgoing tide there was an undertow which basically means that the waves and top half of the water takes you to shore but the bottom half sucks you out to sea. If nobody understands that look it up people its 2014.
