Adventures of Desmundo

We have a pool at our villa. Right now it is sunny and warm so we went swimming. We have a small ball and my dad threw it over the pool and I would try to jump and catch it in mid-air before I touched the water.We took turns throwing the ball to each other. I took a timelapse of it. Don’t know what a time lapse is? I will tell you. A timelapse is a camera taking a picture every 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, or 5 seconds and then putting them all together so they come out in a really fast video, like this. This one is the game that my dad and I played. Timelapses are really cool, so whenever you get a chance to use that feature you should use it.

On September 30th I turned 11. FedEx was supposed to ship birthday presents along with my dad’s new phone, some mints, and fish oil. That stuff was supposed to get here before my birthday, on like the 26th or something. NOT. It got here on the 6th of October!! Like 10 days late!! Anyway. One of the Lego sets that I got was a model of the Arc de Triomphe or Arc of Triumph. It has 386 tiny pieces and it took me about 45 minutes to build. The instructions were kind of complicated. This was also my first Lego architecture set. The Arc de Triomphe (Arc of Triumph) is a 162 ft tall, 150 ft wide, and 72 ft deep white limestone structure located at the western end of the Champs-Elysees in Paris, France. The arc was built over 30 years (1806-1838). The construction was halted in 1814 because Napoleon was defeated. The construction was picked back up in 1833 in the name of King Louis-Philippe I. The Arc was built in honor of Napoleon. In fact, the first stone was laid on Napoleon’s birt

The Iguana Perdida is a restaurant that is in front the Santa Cruz dock. Santa Cruz is where we live. So it is not too far from our house, only a ten-minute walk or so. When you go through the gate you come into a large patio area. (It depends on your patio size because if you have a big patio I would say it is medium. If you have a small patio I would say it would be big.) Anyway. When you go in, you see a room with a bunch of tables and chairs. Of to the right, there is a door that goes out onto a deck overlooking the lake. Then you can go through an arch (From the deck) out onto the patio. Back to the room with a lot of tables. When you come in and go straight (not right onto the deck) you come to a bar. Then you can go through a door and you come out into a  room with lots of couches, pillows, and instruments. There is also a TV. In the table room, on your left, there is a computer room, and after that (right before the bar) the kitchen.
