Ok. So quick recap of yesterday...
We went to Otavalo Market where I got some really good stuff for my family and I made some pretty good deals. We saw a volcano that had a lake because when it erupted 3,000 years ago, the snow and the ice melted to water. The interesting thing about it is there are no fish living in the lake because there is no drainage. The lake doesn't lead to any oceans or other bodies of water. We also went to this restaurant that served indigenous food. So basically, all I ate was corn. We took a tour of the restaurant and the garden where they make the fruits, vegetables and herbs they use to cook their meals. I tried this fruit called taxo and it was really good, like sour candy. Yum...
I also bought movies yesterday! It was very exciting!! 4 movies for $5. I was going to buy Thor but they said the quality wasn't that good yet, so I'm going to wait until before I leave to get it.
Today we went to Colonial Quito. We went to a few churches and they were all very impressive. We also went to the White House of Quito. I got to see where the president of Ecuador works every day. The building was beautiful. The horrible highlight of the day was when I got my camera stolen :( Two kids started distracting me. They tag teamed it: one distracted me while the other took the camera right out of my bag. I was pretty upset. I guess I just didn't see it coming. I had a lot of great pictures on there. OH WELL... Everyone thought it was funny that I was the one targeted because I'm the only one who can speak Spanish. I guess the Hispanic look didn't work in my favor?
I don't have much else to say because I'm still angry about my camera...
