Nikki's school is over now, and she's on summer holiday. She's been here a lot lately, and we are going out almost every day because it's nice weather outside. We went to an amusement park a couple of times and enjoyed the rides on the roller-coaster and bumper cars. Other times we just go out with bicycles. One day I took her to a gay and lesbian library, and we browsed different books. I didn't know about the library or I would have taken her there sooner, but a friend told me about it. It's actually a center for gays and lesbians, and the library is a part of the center. They have lots of books there, including erotic books, and no one was surprised that Nikki was only 13. One woman who works there even showed us around and told us we could open a membership with the library.
In a couple of weeks Nikki will go to Italy with her parents, and when she returns we are going on our trip. Nikki said we should travel near the sea or lakes so we can swim every day. I'm hoping we won't get bad weather because I don't know if the tent will protect us from the rain. We could always get a room in a hotel if that happens, but it will be more expensive.
We like being vegetarians. It's interesting and challenging. When she's here with me, she always helps me make something for lunch or dinner when we stay at home. But we often like going out to restaurants because it's more fun.
Right now we are at home because it's raining outside and we didn't feel like going out. We are watching Wimbledon tennis on TV. Earlier we went to buy some groceries. It was around noon because the night before we stayed up, and then we slept until late. We stayed up late because we were fooling around with honey and she ended up being sticky all over and needed a bath. After the bath we played a game in bed. I don't know what it's called, but we play it when we have nothing else to do. We get naked, and then I write with my finger something on her back or on her front while she's trying to guess what I wrote. Then if she guesses, she does the same to me. It's a lot of fun to do it with lipstick or crayons which can be washed off later. The game can be made more difficult if we draw pictures instead of writing words or when I do it on her leg or bottom.
Tomorrow we'll go to the science museum for kids. It's the place where we went to see the exhibition about insects, but there's much more to see, and it's fun because they let children play with things and do experiments.
