Italian marble

Primero, mis amigas GSB y BB estuvieron en otros paises. Pero vuelvan a los Estados Unidos proximo semana! Estoy feliz. GSB estuvo en Playa Grande, Costa Rica trabajando con las tortugas marinas mas grandes - las baulas! Mira The Leatherback Trust. GSB esta en Argentina ahora con su familia, bebiendo mate, comiendo dulce de leche y arroz con leche. BB esta en Costa Rica con las tortugas y las touristas. Una vez que un voluntario, siempre un voluntario! jajaja. Las extrano.

Okay, since it took me forever to write that in Spanish, I will relate the next story in English, mostly because I don't know the Spanish words to make it as funny as it will be in English. I had lunch with my friends AS and EZ (from Italy) yesterday. EZ also just came back from a research trip in Trinidad and Tobago (what am I doing in law school?). There she had to rough it a little bit, carrying car batteries, sometimes two at a time, to and from the work stations up a very big hill.

EZ sees me yesterday and immediately starts bragging about her Italian marble. I have Italian marble now, feel it! And she points to her calf as she flexes it. So I feel it and sure enough she has a calf of Italian marble!! She apparently also has some pretty big guns from all the manual labor she had to do in the name of research. But I can say right now, at this moment, thinking about the reading I have to do and my special seat in the library, that I'd rather carry batteries up hills in tropical islands than read about future interests in property!
