Much better today. After my bout with food poisoning I spent yesterday resting, reading, and watching movies. It sucked to feel like crap, but it was nice to be left to myself for a day.
Today I woke up early and washed my clothes. Afterwards I pestered Mama Inés and Monica as they prepared lunch—going through their cupboards and asking them the names of spices. I helped Monica prepare chiffles (fried bananas) and then ate more than my fair share. Around noon I bowed out of lunch and went to go find internet. I found another internet with skype (klarge1985 if you want to chat!) and read e-mails, chatted with Aidan who happened to be online at the same time (YAY!), and started my lovely blog. My parents and I had a prearranged date to talk on skype and they no-showed. I won’t lie, I was very disappointed. I had been looking forward to our skype date all day! When I realized my repeated calls where fruitless I went home to sulk.
My sulking, unfortunately, was interrupted by Lauren and Margaret who stopped by to chat and then my laundry that needed to be hung. Soon after they left, another volunteer, Janet, whose Ecuadorian family is related to mine dropped by and a bunch of us husked a bazillion corn and I squirmed whenever I found a worm in the corn.
After Janet and her Ecuadorian mother left, my family watched 13 Going on 30 and then Juan and I roughhoused until I had him cowering in the corner and doubled over in laugher. Never mess with me!
