Soreness and sickness

This morning was a mess. We weren't feeling 100% because the hike, as well as other things, really took a toll on us. I didn't feel how sore I really was until I sat down in class for a long time and had to get up. Holy smokes my legs were sore every time I got up after a while of sitting. But I made it through the day.

For Spanish class we began to watch El Niño Con El Pijama de Rayas (The Boy in the Striped Pijamas) and although the story itself is fiction, it's still hard to watch (for obvious reasons). Of course there have to be Spanish subtitles and the voices must also be in Spanish. Who ever did Bruno's mom's voice in Spanish, I must tell you it's hard to understand you!

About an hour into marketing research, Professor Nacho offered to take Yonseili home because she wasn't feeling good, then from there he would take Christian and me to a Venezuelan food restaurant NaGuara. The purpose was to talk to the owner and investor of the chain and find out how they started, with how much money, etc. I tasted Tequeños on the house. They were like mozarella sticks. After that, Professor Nacho took us back to school, and then I walked home with Brian who talked to me about his Spanish classes and about he had to role play in class as part of an activity. He had to pretend to be a doctor, who owned a home. Yeah.

When I got home I stopped by Yonseili's place to check up on her and yes she was in bed resting... finally! That girl will not stop going and going and going and going... Anyway, she rested and I went home to rest. (By rest I mean sleep.) She came by at 4:15-ish so that we could to go the bank to withdraw cash money and to go to the SUPERMAXI, the Ecuadorian version of Wal-mart. There she got a bunch of Gatorades, waters and sopas huevonas. I can't forget, she also got Tabasco sauce... in place of salsa Valentina which they don't seem to have there. She was really happy to consume something made in the U.S. of A. as you can see for yourself.

Word.

Highlight of the Day: I received a letter from my cousin Nadia Porras! Apparently it took about 10 days to get here. In it she said that the family says hi, so shout out to the family! Love you all!
