Day fifteen

Woke up because dad is incapable of turning off an alarm when he goes to have a shower, and then got ready to go out for lunch. All my cousins on dad’s mum’s side of the family had organised a get together because we were here and they don’t really see each other much… Unfortunately, my favourite translator had already left for uni so I was expecting it to be a difficult day.
So we drove to wherever we were going and then went inside and met a whole bunch of people as they began to arrive. Good thing dad had the family tree on him because there were so many people it was ridiculous. But, I did get to meet my second cousin Uxue for the first time, she is the cutest thing ever. She’s 5 years old and her parents came out to visit 6 years ago, so she was born about 10 months after they left and I’ve been dying to meet her since I found out she existed. I also have another 5 year old second cousin named June and she is also the cutest thing ever. I spent the day playing peek-a-boo, chasing them, teaching them words in English, and taking photos of their cuteness. Oh, and also talking to Diego because now that Inigo is at uni, he is the only one who can speak fluent English to me. Plus, I’ve been getting close to his brother and not him because he’s kind of shy and not really touchy-feely and I needed that to change :)
So I spent much of the day talking to him, showing him photos of my trip so far, letting him play games on my phone, and hugging him :D (I know I’m creepy :()
So yeah, it was very hard to leave Uxue and June today, but I promised them both I’d visit them again soon, and the we came home. At like 8pm. So dad, Eli and Montxo decided to go out drinking with the cousins they’d just been with (of course) and Nikki and I stayed home to sleep/facebook/chill out.
They eventually got home at around 1am and we sat around eating dry cereal and discussing our plans for the next day. I realised that although I had eight hours until I had to wake up, I was way too excited to sleep.
Must ingest more alcohol to get tireder….
Maybe another day. Goodnight all!
