In good company

Wednesday the president was in Cordaba giving a speech so Esther, Alicia and I decided to go see her. There was obviously a ton of people there, but a lot less than I expected. We were told there would be 4 or 5 thousand people there, but there definitely weren't. It was still cool to see her talk though!

From where we were standing, we could really only see the megascreen and Esther really wanted to actually see the president, so she asked if i wanted to move. This is how that conversation went:

"I think we should go to another spot cause I want to actually see her, not just the monitor"

....pause

I jump to see over the crowd.

"I saw her"

:)

Came home and found this on the kitchen table. I guess they do have Costcos here! (its a bag of frosted flakes by the way)

On thursday we had culture class where we rode horses and COOKED! We made these pastries that are really common here. You fold up some dough and then put some jelly in it, and then fry it. Delicious. 

We fried them and then dipped them in sugar water. Love this country.

Friday we went to Creambury and then decided to cook dinner at Missy's house. We grilled chicken, sauteed veggies, and had coke zero (with ice!!). It was probably the best meal I've had since Ive been here. About every 10 minutes Esther would remind us how good it was and we would all agree. (sorry Esther I had to add it) Afterwards we watched Tangled and slept over at Missy's. All I have to say, is that if you have good company, the simplest things can be incredibly fun :)

The next day we didn't really have anything planned and we may or may not have watched two more movies : ) But I did go out and do something at night so I wasn't completely lazy that day
