Friday!!! Yeah!! Not so for Emma. This morning we headed out to visit the equator. We were not 10 minutes from home when Emma declared that she was going to "throw up"! She gracefully leaned out the window and took care of business! There was a woman in the car next to us giving us a strange look - it was a bit funny to see her face but not for Emma. She said she felt OK so we continued on but 10 minutes later she leaned out the window again!! She wanted to go home so we turned back. She felt much better once at home. We all ate the same thing for dinner last night so we think that she didn't eat enough for breakfast and her vitamins must of made her sick. Once we were home she admitted that she didn't feel well before we left but didn't tell anyone. She felt bad and even told Michelle that she was sorry that she got sick and we couldn't got to the Equator. She is just fine now. She even had Spanish class this afternoon. We have been lucky as no one has got sick since we have been here (KNOCK ON WOOD!). Not even a little sick. We still have several days here so maybe I shouldn't have wrote that!!!
Sooooooo........we just hung home all day!! Hayden and Michelle walked to Megamaxi to get a few groceries while I made a lasagna for dinner (I hope it is good!). It did rain and was very cloudy most of the day so we didn't miss out on a gorgeous day. We will have time to get to the equator before we go. It is a must see!!!
Tomorrow morning we are getting up early and taking Michelle to Otavalo market. I hope the rain is done by then. It is an awesome place to shop. Hayden and Michelle are going to brave it and eat in the open market. I am way too chicken to do that!! We plan to stop at the biscuit factory too - that was delicious and fun to watch.
I only have two pictures from today. One is of the Spanish/English tutor Lizbeth and the kids. She is a wonderful woman and we were lucky to have her as our teacher. Only 2 more times with her next week and then we are done. The second is Danni and Hayden playing video games. This kid is totally addicted!!
Hayden bought me a dozen roses today. Guess how much they cost here?? $2.40!! That's right!!! He bought them at Megamaxi so they were probably even a little pricey! They grow here - lots of beautiful flowers grow here. We passed some flower markets this morning and they are so beautiful. We had a tour guide tell us that yes it is great that roses/flowers are so cheap but that means you cant give them to your girlfriend/wife because she will get mad at you! They have to give chocolate instead which is very expensive here.
That is it for today. Everyone have a great night!! Mari
