Islands! I come up with the most ridiculous titles........

         We arrived last night on our island to spend the night. It was beautiful!!! Everything was so luscious and green. Cattle grazed on the hill, and the donkeys were very noisy. Anyway, to get to our hotel we have to climb a hill, which was very hard to get up because of the altitude. So I'm wheezing and puffing up the hill, and you wouldn't believe what happened. I looked to my right, and a grandma carrying a a sack of potatoes passes me! She wasn't huffing or puffing or.........anything! ( Sigh. ) I feel out of shape.

          With a lot of wheezing, huffing, and complaints, we reached the top. ( Which had a nice view of the lake. ) We settled in a big room with four twin sized beds. ( But it was so cold dad and I  slept together, and so did mom and Tara. ) The blankets were super heavy! It took two of us to lift one up, no joke! Once you got into bed, you couldn't move anything! For lunch we had potatoes, and potatoe soup. ( Potatoes are famous there, the people we were staying with were poor, so that's almost all they can afford. ) Dinner was potatoe soup, rice, and vegetables. Then we went for a long hike to see the sunset. After that, here's where the fun comes in. We dressed up in their culture's clothes and got together in a big room with other people. The night was filled with the songs of a flute, and the joys of dancing through and through. Sorry, that was a little too poetic.

           We got up this morning to the sounds of birds. We got dressed and welcomed ourselves to a hardy breakfast of quinoa pancakes. Sounds gross right? Actually it's really good, and healthy! Afterwards we got on the boat to visit another island. This one wasn't very interesting. All we did was hike. BORING!!! So then we got back on the boat, and we're now heading back to reality. Oops! That sounded harsh. Tonight all we have planed is walking around, showering, and going to bed. Adios! ( Yikes! Getting used to Spanish already! ) Bye!!!
