Me encantan hamberguesas con queso!!!!!!!! Daniel hablaba a Ralph en el gran telefono  blanco. El vomitaba todo el noche.BBBBBBLLLLLEEEEEHHHHH! Es todo lo que yo escuchaba.

July 26, 2006:

Well we went to Bahia, the “Ecocity” a.k.a: city that TRIES to recycle but still has major trash issues. We stayed  at a hotel that was a zoo (my mom tried to cover this up by saying “It has a lot of animals” but that is an understatement -- if this is a lot then 2 would be many. The guy musta’ had 200 animals!) Anyway it was still pretty cool. Then we headed out to Rio Muachacho where we ate this vegetarian food (aka rice, beans and some other weird stuff). And in the cabin, bats would fly in and out during the night. But the actual farm was pretty cool. Now we are back in Quito THE CITY OF POLLUTION.

 

July 15, 2006:Makapakukak

Wednesday we left for makipakunak (something like that) where we stayed in EXTREMELY rustic cabin with bugs ther size of your fist that tried to sleep with Daniel, and cockroaches who tried to brush their teeth with our toothbrushes. Then there was this spider that was the size of your head.  Now we are in this zoo hotel place and we had to take a garbage tour. While we were watching the garbage, a guy came by with chicken guts and put them in the “inorganic” bin.

 

No me gustan insectos. Ellos duermen en mi cama. Ellos se esconden en mi bano. NO ME GUSTAN! Hoy nosotros caminamos en Bahia. No me gusta caminar. Yo nade en la  bahia. No me gusta Daniel porque el me empujo en la bahia.

 

July 11, 2006: ESPN en Espanol

Today we rode up this Telefonic thing (cable car to 13000ft on a ridge overlooking Quito). Then we went for a walk in the park.We saw this kid who was like 2 or 3 and he came over and was pointing at my dad’s blackberry; at first we thought he was homeless and we were like “Tienes una mama? Donde esta tu mama?” But he didn’t understand us. Then he left and wandered around for a while then returned to a fruit stand thingy so we figured he must belong to them. Then we took 2 taxi rides to a cheeseburger, where upon our arrival I got a bad stomach ache and spent the whole time in the bathroom (I won’t go into details). I was better when the burger came except I’m still not feeling great so I couldn’t eat one! I STILL HAVEN’T GOTTEN MY CHHEESEBURGER! And I had to sit and watch everyone else sink their teeth into juicy cheeseburgers! Now we found the all star game on ESPN en espanol so I’m watching that. GO A.L!

 

Yo estoy mirando el juego de las estrellas. El programa es en espanol. Hay muchos jugadores hispanicos. Yo quiero que la liga americana gane el partido. (Maggie no ha aprendido el subjunctivo, pero recibio ayuda de sus padres).

 

 

July 4, 2006: For a cheeseburger

This entry is for a cheeseburger. The best cheeseburger south of the Rio Grande my grandfather says. The bad part is it has to be in Spanish so sorry if you can’t read Spanish. But first im going to tell you what happened. My mom and dad went to this market and bought some fruit. It turns out that this fruit always has worms in it. My dad ate it. GROSS!!  So did this other kid. The worms were small but you could see them. Apparently these worms are “good” for you.

 

No me gustan gusanos. A mi papa le gustan gusanos. Le encantan. El come muchos gusanos en la fruta. Yo creo que gusanos son malos. BLEHHHHHH!! Yo voy a ir a San Antonio esta tarde. Despues, nosotros vamos a comer pastel por el 4 de julio. YAAA!!  Yo queiro nadar en una piscina porque hace mucho calor aqui!

 

 

 

July 2, 2006: One week

It’s been over one week since we got here and I still haven’t gotten my cheeseburger. I’ve been treated to all kinds of meat, potatoes, salad and ice cream but not a cheeseburger. Today was freezing cold  and we went for a walk and it was boring. Afterward, we had a lunch of chicken that the family we’re staying with killled and cooked.

 

Yesterday we went shopping  at the market, and it was fun. I got a llama wool blanket and it’s really soft. Me and my dad made up a shopping song and it goes something like this: “Theres a llama on my cama doo doo doo!” So because we went to the market yesterday I had to walk like 5 miles and today I walked like a mile so I’m really tired. That’s all for now.

 

P.S. my dad will be putting pictures of the chicken on his site so look if u dare but its sorta gross.

 

 

June 28, 2006: Uhhh… Watever

Okay so yesterday was, well its hurting me to say this, actually sorta fun. We had to take this train thing to this town thing and we had to ride on this roof thing and I got hit with this branch thing then we went through these tunnel things then there was this really scary bridge thing (I think it was scary -- I closed my eyes). So, we were riding on the roof thing on the train thing and my butt was really hurting (so would yours if you were sitting on the roof of a train for an hour and a half). So then we took this bus thing to a house thing and we hiked up to two waterfalls and then I had to stand under the waterfall. Boy that was a nice little natural massage!

 

Today was back to normal a.k.a. boring so there’s really nothing to say about today except that for lunch we had tuna noodle wiggle -- that’s what my dad calls it. It really wasn’t that bad; better than it sounds. 

 

 

June 26, 2006: Internet Café

Okay so today was oh what is the word again oh yeah BORING - I had to sit in classes ALL day and it is summer so what the heck, I mean isn’t summer for FUN? Okay so (this is for all my readers) the POSITIVE side of the day (my mom made me put this in -- its pointless because my father does the positive side of things and my job is the un-positive side of things, a.k.a. the TRUTH) so um… well I ate and I slept and umm… that’s about all that was positive. So back to the TRUTH… Im stuck in Spanish class. I mean what the heck! So today I had to learn the alphabet! The ALPHABET I learned that last September! And I thought this was going to be fun. Well I’m really tired so I’ll write more later.

                              

 

June 24, 2006: Hotel Room

Well we got here okay. The plane was late. And I was really tired and I wanted to watch the movie (King Kong) but I stopped half way through. Then they served us yucky lasagna and yummy salad.  So we landed and went through customs and stuff and we got to the exit and there wasn’t a cab or anything for us! Then we had to end up taking the airport van. And there weren’t any seatbelts! By the time we got to the hotel my dad was bragging about how he had conversed in Spanish to all the people so far. When we got to the hotel he tried again but I think the lady knew he wasn’t from around here because she responded in English. Now we are going to go for a walk or   maybe even a Taxi ride (My Parents: OH NO!! Me: YES!) to go to a museum (UGHG) So I HAVE to go now! Bye!

 

June 23, 2006: Miami Airport

SO I’m in the airport now and you’re probably wondering did I get my cheeseburger well the answer is NO because the stupid Miami airport doesn’t have cheeseburgers! So instead I had to eat nachos. Then my brother spilled salsa all over the floor  so I got out of there as fast as I could. And the plane here to Miami was awful cause I had nothing to do. My brother got to play his game boy the whole time and I had to sit and look out the stupid window. And now I’m sitting in the Miami airport and we just found out something is going on with the plane UGH! But at least now I have my OWN page! So check my page out EVERY day! And I’ll write more AFTER we get to Quito!
