Sam finds vegetarian food he actually likes

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 17:01:34 -0600

Well, since Mrkopalj I’ve been pretty grossed out by animal meat stuff. I saw red bloody sheep bodies and pig faces over and over and over. And meat is one of the only things we’ve been eating.
I want to be a vegetarian now.
In Pisa, I found out I liked egg rolls and filafel.
I like spaghetti and margerita pizza, but that’s all I ever get to eat, so I like these other things now.
McDonald’s is really, really good, though. I love cheeseburgers. So that will be hard.

How to ski by Zadie Hoff

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 16:49:05 -0600

1. Keep your hands on your knees.
2. Make a “v” to stop or slow down.
3. Practice turning left and right.
It might be hard. But keep trying! It starts to be easy!

A blog from Sam
Well, it was a long four ower drive to Mrkpalj but we did it. Today we went skiing. It was my first time. I had lessins first from Robert the owner of the apartmint we are staying in. There was a rope that poled us up the (little) mountain. When we got to the mountin it was not on. So we had to walk up the (little) mountin proble five times. I did not like walking up the (little) mountin. After walking up the mountain about siks or seven times and skiing down Robert went to get somebody to turn on the rope lift. After walking up the (little) mountain and sking down proble five or siks timers. Robert and somebody came and the person with Robert startd the fope lift or whatever it is. Me and my sister were good at sking so were my mom and dad.
It hert my hands wen I helled on to the rope. My sister neded help from my mom and dad. it was fun sking after a wille Robertu, Robert’s doter, came and skied with us. Robert sed she went down the (big) mountain two times I think. After Robert told us that my mom pated Robertu on the head and sed your touf! Or good job. After that my mom sed for my dad and Robert to ski down the (big) hill then we skied a little more and wen my dad went down the (big) mountin he fell down. So we skied a little more then we went home and hung out.

First Movie Made and Directed By Sam Hoff

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 19:49:02 -0600

Hello, everyone! I hope you have a few minutes to sit down and enjoy my movie. P.S. This is my first movie, and also, sit down, relax, and get some good treats. It’s about this moron named Wink Buster! I did the movie because I wanted to do a movie in homeschool. It sounded fun to me, but it was kind of hard because I couldn’t have any special effects. But we ended up having some sound effects!
That’s all I’m gonna say! And Merry Christmas! Hope you enjoy my movie! If you want to make a comment about my movie, it would be a pleasure if you did! I want to get more comments than my mom!

[Editor’s note: The tall church tower that is Rovinj’s signature view has a giant moving statue of St. Euphemia on it. The statue acts as a weathervane, signaling fishermen the direction the wind is coming from.]

Rovinj, Croatia
Chimneys are old, boats are new
I can see a saint.

St. Euphemia
Romans threw her to lions
Now she directs wind.
