At the Beach Part 2

I went back to the beach on Wednesday to another beach to meet up with a Swiss girl who was in Florida for 10 weeks taking English classes and is now spending one week relaxing in Florida before she has to go back to Switzerland. Nina (another friend of Yvonne's, visiting from Germany) and I went to the beach and parked in the middle of the beach to try and find the Swiss girl. She didn't know exactly where she was, just near a volleyball net. I asked where a net was and was told it's a 15 minute walk down the beach so Nina and I set out with our backpacks, large cooler and my sun chair. We weren't sure we were going the right way so we kept backtracking and it ended up taking us around 40 minutes but we finally found her being burnt badly by the sun. She had been out there with no shade since 9am, I imagine she is very sore today. I know my forehead is very red from walking for 40 minutes without the cover of my shade chair even with 50 spf.

The Swiss girl told us that when she was at the beach earlier in the week there had been two women swimming in the ocean and then a shark fin popped up and they sprinted out of the water screaming. Her friend took a picture of the terrified women and posted the picture on Facebook. Unfortunetly I have been unable to locate this picture online.

When we got back to Yvonne's she was already home from work and was making us "Yvonne's Pasta" it was very very good, it had pasta, zucchini, pumpkin seeds, and other stuff I'm not really sure but it was delicious. Then we went off and took a Salsa Dancing class. To my suprise it was very fun and I had a really good time. The way this place is setup is very clever. They have many different levels and the first week everyone is level 1 and then most people go to level 2 where you would learn 5-10 more moves. Then to level 3 and so on and the classes are always the same, so if you miss a few weeks you are never behind, you simply relearn the moves you forgot until you know them well again and can move on to the next level.

We spent the rest of the night listening to Spanish to German Translations and Yvonne then translated the German to English for me.

Something that I think is very strange is that in America we call Germany, Germany but the German people call it Deutschland. It is like this everywhere, the people of China do not call their country China, they call it something else. I think this is strange becasue I do not call Yvonne, Mary in English, because it's not her name, so why would I call Deutschland Germany?!?!
