Week Number 12

Hola 

So you guys already know about my amazing three months Wednesday, so the first couple of days this week will I skip telling about... 

Thursday:
I was sick again? I don't know what's going on, but my body don't feel like adapt the climate. 

Friday:

Arnetta came, so I didn't go to school. It was her first real visit and I was her tour guide in Otavalo. We went to the waterfall... It was my fourth time there, but I will never get tired of it! It's so pretty.

On the way up to the secret waterfall...

To get to the secret waterfall you need to crawl through a little cave... Here are Arnetta in the cave..

Taken from the little cave... 

We used a lot of time there. So after that we went home, saw a lot of movies and just chilled the rest of the day. A real girl sleepover! 

Saturday: 

There are always a market in Otavalo, Saturday is the big market day, on plaza de poncho. 

I was so excited about taking Arnetta there, because I have only been there with my friends from Otavalo and they think it's boring... I do get why, because they have been living with it their whole life and all the things you can buy are only tourist things... But I finally got to go with a tourist! I could have bought everything, but I just bought a alpaca shirt (I absolutely love it) a makeup bag and a little wallet. I'm diffidently going back and now I also know where to buy all my presents for my family and friends. 

It's a lot of walking and a lot of looking so we were tired fast. We went to one of my favorites cafés in Otavalo and had hot chocolate. 

After our little break we went to a movie shop. Arnetta bought many movies, it's legal to copy movies here, so movies and video games are so cheap! 

We went home and ate lunch and I tried guinea pig (cuy) for the first time. Arnetta didn't want to try it and I get why it's weird eating a animal you have as a pet. But it was to late for me, because I had already taken a bit of it, when I was told what it was... 

It's hard to explain the taste... It was very salty, but that's probably just the way it has been cooked. The skin is difficult to chew and their is a lot of fat in the meat. It's probably not a thing I'm going to eat again, but actually it wasn't that bad. I have tried it now and I'm proud of myself! 

Arnetta's mom pick Arnetta up later Saturday night. 

Sunday: 

I slept to 11 am or something like that. I was really tired. I didn't do much beside eating passion fruit (I have a tree with passion fruit in my garden and I love it) until 3:30 pm where I went to Ibarra and visit Arnetta in her new house. 

I don't remember if I have told that Arnetta has changed family. Now she lives with a very sweet single mom. But I do not like her dog! It's a big and very violent dog. Normally I like dogs and don't have problems with them, but that dog clearly has a problem with me - it bit me in the lag and it really hurts. 

Her mom took us to a mountain top, where we had the whole view over Ibarra, it was very pretty. Then we had a ice cream, same place me and Arnetta had ice cream first time I was in Ibarra. Later my dad came to pick me up...  

Love
