David: Spain Trip - Day 13

Downtown Salamanca (Plaza Mayor)

Today was the day we had to present our presentations to people in the school. Pooja, my partner, and myself presented about skiing and snowboarding in Vermont and a little bit about Burton. Our presentation went really well all four times we did it and our video got a really nice response. Below is the video we used for our presentations. We started it around 1:20 each time. Check it out:



After our presentations, Manu and myself went to his grandparents house and ate lunch with them and his uncle. It was my first time meeting all of them and they were all really nice people. I really enjoyed my time with all of them and all the food that they had prepared. Even though it was so short, it was definitely a highlight to this trip so far.

After lunch Manu and myself met up with Connor to head back to his house for a little bit. We hung out and I beat Manu at a soccer video game again (I'm just too good). Connor finally had the chance to get onto a computer too since Luis, his host, doesn't have a computer. The good news of the day came after he checked his email. Congrats to Connor for getting accepted into UVM!

About an hour later Manu, Connor, and myself went downtown to meet up with another big group of people. Matt, Jose Juan, Santi, James, Amanda, Luis, Rachel, Luna, Kata and more were all in our group today and we went to two bars in the area. One of them had a pool table and Kata and myself played against Santi and Manu. We both got down to the 8 ball and unfortunately Manu hit the luckiest shot of his life and made it... after cheating for the whole game haha.

After playing pool it was down to just Manu, Kata, Santi, James, and myself. We all walked out of the bar and called it a night. Manu has me rushing all over the place these days. I don't think there hasn't been a day he's had me running for a car or bus haha. Manu, Manu, Manu.

Adios TKFV!

David: Day in the Life

I think I'm going to start doing some posts like this. We post a lot of things about other people, but not enough about us. So it's time for all of you to get to see some of Gray and myself outside of the blog. Just a day in the life.

Below is a picture taken by Rikki Lee Thiel of myself and the big homie/second father Luis Calderin, owner of OKAY!! OKAY!! (http://okay-okay.com). This was a little get together right before my Winter Break started. Got to always kick it with the older homies every now and then.

For those that may remember we've done a lot of projects with OKAY!! OKAY!! from the Burton US Open, Burton summer sales, concerts, and anything we can work on together. They helped us on our big TKFV vs. LA video that essentially started this blog too.

P.S. Shouts to Burton for hooking up the jacket I'm wearing in this picture.
