Que Onda?

Today is our last "full" day here in Loreto. It was a late morning then we headed on to the Internado to say fair well to the kids. We were all sad to say bye to them, although they seemed okay that we we're leaving, they still gave their best wishes to us. Or at least that's what I believe to have translated.

The group con yo then moved on to shopping for friends, family and other people who don't deserve gifts, but will receive them none the less just to make them feel special. I myself was led into a glass shop by a nine fingered man and shown a large assortment of animal shaped tobacco pipes. I was only surprised that one shaped as a monkey was actually functional. I was then convinced to buy a sweater by a fellow group member. I purchased this sweater because it makes me look like a hippie and a sac of potatoes simultaneously. I was then informed that the same sweater was 30 pesos cheaper at the store next door. Good job. (laugh out loud)

We all then returned to Casa De Jeff-Paul and tried to move as little as possible until dinner time. Except Darren, Brooke and Donovan (the Don) who thought it was better to run and bike ride. Frggin' do gooders.

Dinner time came. The girls had their hair did and the boys tried to wear collars, except me, I just paid for this potato sac, I'm going to wear it! We we're accompanied by Patti, Ben, Jill, Chuy and Chata. [Side note] big thanks to them for all of their help here in Loreto. Dinner was fantastic and I once again fit more into my stomach than what logically should.

Chuy then took us to the churro guy and we proceeded to buying......guess what? Churros! Except me, I got a deep fried banana covered in butter, jelly and an entire churro. It was amazing. Rachel can agree.

We now lounge sluggishly and not look forward to tomorrow (departure day). Sleep sounds good.
PEACE!
