On to Ecuador

I've actually tried a few times to make it to Ecuador, but thing's never worked out.  It's kind of the same thing as Los Angeles. I was in California at least 20 or 30 times before I ever made it to LA. One time I was about 30 mins away, when I had to turn around and head back to San Diego. I finally made it there. in 2008.

Our time in Columbia has been short, but good. It seemed like most of the doors closed here.  We had numbers of about 5 ministries that were all disconnected.  Today we are supposed to be going to a pretty cool church, though. So that should be cool.  We will have to bring all of our backpacks because we are checking out of the Platypus by noon (the church has SIX Sunday services).  I'm really hoping someone will be nice to us and give us a place to put our stuff.

We definitely made up for the food we had on Friday.  Yesterday I had both an amazing lunch and dinner.  Lunch was a mixed plate of grilled pork loin, chicken, and steak, with potatoes, salad, and some desert thingy.  It was wonderful.  I'll post pics.  Last night I was still pretty full from lunch so I got fruit filled crepes.  They had strawberries, tangerines, apricots, and a bazillion cherries in cream sauce.  Yummy.

I still haven't found a decent sweatshirt. Columbia is cheap for some things and ridiculously expensive for others.  A plane Nike sweatshirt was over $100 and some decent hiking pants were almost $150.  Craziness.  If you know me and my cheapness you know that I'd rather freeze. haha. 

Random site of yesterday... Not once, not twice, but THREE times yesterday we saw a pair of cheerleaders (in uniforms) holding hands rollerblading down the sidewalk.  What's even more weird is that each pair was wearing different uniforms.  Strange.
