#6 Birthdays

This week started as usual, but on Tuesday during the hour off, I took a bike to go to the car rental in Hanover and pick up my reserved car for the evening ride. I got the car and drove back to the camp to finish the day. After we finished the job I took my friends to the Wallmart and then go tback to the camp for dinner and afterwards I drove off to Cape Cod to surprise my friend who has a birthday and also to meet them after more than a year! Since Alexa keep it as a secret that I can come to Roda's birthday, I was the real surprise for her! :) We were at the ocean, we made a small camp fire, we had some food and drinks and enjoyed our time together with their new friends.

I really enjoyed to spend some time with them after a long time, we had a permit till 23.30 to keep the fire at the beach, so afterwards we went back to their place and continue to talk and enjoy our time. I've also got some sleep before heading back to the camp in the morning and say good bye again, who knows till when we'll see each other again... During the hour break I took back the car and as they kept my bike in their garage I cycled back to the camp, and I've just got back in time to work.

This Friday, we had another birthday at the camp, one of the kitchen staff had a birthday, so we made a little celebration for him in the woods, then I had my day off to get some rest and that was it.

#5 Apple, McDonald's

This week was almost the same like all the previous working every day, expect that we changed our days off and I got the Sunday, now. Since a while I started to go cycle everyday after we finished with our job. Sometimes I've just went for an easy ride around the town, or go get some speeding, however what I liked the most so far, was going in the forest and handle the bike on narrow dusty roads etc. it is also very helpful to build some muscles, not only on the legs. =)

On Friday we had the pay day, and finally they deposit the money to my bank account, so I got an e-mail immediately as it arrived in the morning. I checked on the Apple store if the closest one has the model that I wanted, and after work I went straight there by bike to get my new, and also my first Apple iPhone, the Special Edition (SE). It was a little bit exhausting to cycle almost 20 kilometers (around 15 miles) in a row with only a few stops, but I got there in time to even set my new phone and I got back to the camp before sunset.

On Saturday I was working with Toni all day, it wasn't that since we had nothing extra to do, beside the usual cleaning. On Sunday I had my day off with Ági and Tomi, and after lunch we decided to go to Kingston to check an instrument shop with pretty guitars and so, and also to eat at a McDonald's restaurant which is so called the "American dream", haha, no. However it came originally from here, so it's a must try for the new comers at least. =)

#4 1st month passed

It is hard to force myself and write the blog each week, since I'm not always having a Wi-Fi connections and when I have I'm not always carring my netbook with myself, so I easily forget about it...

This week was almost all the same like the previous ones, we did our job etc. However there was a littl echange with the days off, since Viktor wanted to visit his girlfriendon Sunday, so he worked on Saturday instead of Olivér and him, Zsófi and I had a day off, and after some discussion we finally decided to go to Plymounth by Uber and take some time in the city near the ocean and walk around the city center. We got to the rock at first since the ride was tilll there, then we walked around the ocean checking out the Mayflower ship's replica.

Then we walked in the city and accidently went in to a Diva's Dance Competition which was probably for the local kids as we saw the competitors. Afterwards we went in a restaurant which uses local products to make their meals, then made some more walk around and also catched an ice cream van to buy some, and later we enjoyed the music festival which was taking place in the city center while we were there, however it was mainly for the local retired people as we saw the auidence... :D

And our week passed, we just went back to work on Sunday and start the next week.

#3 Rainy day off

This week we had nothing special to do, however we made some bike rides around the neighborhood after work. We went to Marshfield's airport, which was a small one for private sport and leisure planes. On another day I went around alone and I end up in Pembroke and found a school bus parking lot and real american suburban area as well.

And then on Saturday we had a rainy day, so we cannot do anything in our day off... just stay in the camp and chill while there was a little time without rain I went to cycle around.

#2 Kids arrived

This week, we just started to work from Monday as noramally and as the kids arrived on Friday we started to work on the camp schedule from 9 to 5 instead of the 8 to 4. On Tuesday all the staff expect the maintenance team got a day off, however from Monday the day camp started already, so we had job to do...

On Thursday we had our last day without kids, so we hadd a graduation party where everyone called by name and been intreduced to all the staff members like what they'll do during the summer! It was a crazy party and also there was a banquette dinner before where we had some really good meals thanks to our kitchen staff!

On Saturday we had our day off with Viktor and Sophie so we planned to go to the ocean again, however we had to check the bikes and make them ready, so Viktor had to wait and since Sophie wanted check the bank wee went a bit earlier to catch it opened. So we activated the online banking and then we went to a mall to look around as she needed some clothes to buy and then we went to Brant Rock and spent some time at the beach which was a bit rocky as its name says... and I took some pictures as well:

On Sunday we had to work with Viktor, and we were that lucky the stockade's new bathroom was opened already, so we had to clean an extra 20 toilets and sinks and right now only 5 showers, since they don't have the rest ready yet, and hopefully they'll be ready on next Wednesday.
