some pictures will follow

so this is A.J. again. I felt like i should right some more just because. so i will leave off after swimming that Ang talked about last post. Unnar and I went fishing with our boys, and on my first cast i caught a trout....like i said, pictures will follow. then just before we left Unnar caught one (he also caught a rock). they were the same kind and about the same size. it was right out the back here in a small river that flows into a larger one. we brought them back and Alda prepared them for lunch. I actually kind of liked it. it was the best fish i ever had. fresh fish caught by yourself, prepared by friends, was kind of good. i still wasn't totally into it. i would prefer chicken...or farmer sausage :)
we've gone fishing twice since, but no luck. although on the way back we found a wild blueberry patch and Isaac ate a bunch of them and had a blue face. later that day when we caught the fish we were going for a boat ride (free on that day). as we were waiting, the boys were throwing rocks in the lake/river and i had that feeling someone would get hurt but i didn't want to say anything because it just sounded negative....then i got hit. isaac accidentally threw behind himself and hit me in the temple with a large rock. as i was writhing in pain, Ang turned around to check on me which gave Elliot just enough time to fall into a huge puddle and get soaked head to toe. Elliot and I did not have enough time to go back and get him changed and go back, so Ang and Isaac went on the 2 hour ride without us.
The other night Ang got invited to play vball by the wife of one of Unnars co-workers who came to the farm with his family to get some pictures done by Agust. did you get that?? so Ang went and had fun and met a few more people. she was certainly able to hold her own. in fact, she is going again on tuesday...and every other time they play as well. :)
our friends Bogga and Gusti (short for Agust....a different Agust then the one who lives here) came from the city yesterday to visit with us and Unnar and Alda for a few days. we've had lots of laughs already, and we have been making plans for when we go back to the city. Agust owns a restaraunt which is in the top 100 new ones in the world...this is the 2nd restaraunt that that has happened with for him, so he is on a role. it was with him that Isaac and I went fishing today and didn't catch anything except some blueberries.
I also met a guy from the church here that does landscaping. i hope to go with him later this week about 45 minutes away to build a large stone wall in front and behind a church. the kind of wall that will look a couple hundred years old when it's done. i get to make a little piece of history..or at least i hope to. well that is all for now. it's a blast. hope all is well with you. later

A.J.

like, how can u not love fresh fish, done up these gourmet people? Buddy, better start liking that fish a little more or they'll send u home! OOOOOOO. I am so hungry for fish right now. Maybe i'll go put a line in off my back yard, and have a mudsucking cigarette-feeding catfish. Now are you grateful?

But, i admit, have little taste for horse.
