Day 2

First of all this keyboard is SO confusing so if there are random symbols ignore them!!!


Anyways...yesterday was funny... my friend Clare and I went to go look for a blanket b.c mine smelt like b.o.... but i didn´t know the word for blanket. So after walking around for like a million hours and talking to a million people and describing a blanket to them we found out that the word was colchon... so we talked to a million other people and asked them if they knew a store that sold a colchon.... But no one knew a store and FINALLY we came across this one little boy and he took us himself to a store that sold colchons only to discover that colchon was a mattress.... So basically after that we had to start over.... It was quite a wild goose chase and after a couple hours of running around town, we found a stack of blankets sitting outside to discover that they are actually called colchas... WOOPS but anyways, i got a blanket, it smells nice, it´s warm and I slept well last night...

Today we went to the orphanage for the first time and there were about 20 kids there and they were super cute... I will post pictures later... They were crazy though and the three of us that were there are super tired from giving piggy backs and spinning them around all day....

I think tomorrow we are going to San Juan with our host family b-c there is a carnival there or something??? Should be fun... peaaccceeeee
