abbi and i have just finished dinner and we are waiting half an hour till we can call home to mom and dad's where jess and heather will be there for dinner.
we started the day late today. i got out of bed at 10 and went to the market to buy eggs. i made us potatoe pancakes with the left over mashed potatoes from last night, i had fried eggs and abbi made some sort of french toast with peanut butter.
then it was back to bed for more reading! we eventually both fell back asleep till 2pm. when we woke up we headed to town as i needed to hit the bank machine before i leave town tomorrow. abbi needed to get some pain meds for her ankle and of course we needed food from the market for dinner.
we made veggie soup from scratch and it only took 2 hours on our hot plate! everything takes just a bit longer to do here....
we just finished a conversation with carmen from up stairs and wouldnt you know it, out spanish is acutally getting better. i felt a sense of accomplishment when we were finished talking. we could communicate and she said our spansih was pretty good for being here for such a short time. sink or swim i guess right?!
tomorrow morning i catch the bus to guayaquil so i can get my flight to quito. im quite excited to get there. julie from germany should be arriving at the hostle at the same time as me. i cant wait to hear about her diving tour in the galapagos.
after all this rest and relaxation time i ready for some action and i think quito will do the trick. abbi will stay here and take care of her foot. we decided today that it was for the best that she doesnt come. there will be a lot of walking there and she can just barely manange the trip to town here in playas to get groceries.
i think the hostle im staying at has internet and computers so hopefully i can update the blog each night im there. i'll be there 3 nights total...really looking forward to it :)
hasta luego
( sorry no pics today! they wouldnt be very exciting anyways...)
