1 August - No more Capoeira

I got an email from Ricky this morning that said they will be gone on holiday for three weeks, which I found out last night, and that the classes that were going to be covered were only on Wednesday nights from 20-22hr. Wednesday night we don't go because it is just too late for Skylar and the trains run less frequently, so that we don't get home until 1. Didn't seem worth it to pay for the month when we can't even go to class. Hopefully I will pick it back up when I get home. I was pretty ticked off that they didn't tell us this sooner, but maybe they did and it was just in German. I tried to email, but got no response. I'm hoping to do some traveling in September, so I figured it was best to just quit now and save the money.

A few weeks ago, our neighbors complained that we slam the outside gate and it wakes them up. So we've been trying to be more quiet about it, even Skylar. Today Nora tells me that they are very upset about the gate and that we have to stop slamming it in the morning. Skylar hasn't had school and I surely am not up early in the morning, so I don't see how they could blame us, but whatever. With Capoeira one day after another, I've had to wash our uniforms when we get home at night so they would be clean for the next day and apparently our downstairs neighbors don't like that, so they put a 10pm curfew on the washing machine. I never say anything to them when they are outside drunk and carrying on at 1 in the morning.
