Last Day In Otavlo

                 Getting up at 8:45, we ate breakfast, then took a cab down to town. Today we are going to learn how they make popular things shown at the markets. The first thing was, tapestries. They showed how they mix different plants to make different colors. Then she did an example of how she makes them, it was really cool! Next was wood carvings. We walked around and saw many wood carvings. Tara got a wooden cross with the word Jesus carved into it. Oh, and I forget to mention that we went to a waterfall before all this. We hiked up to this secerate cave and explored the tunnels around it. 
                   The next town is the last one. This town is famous for its leather. Mom bought a black leather purse there too. We ate lunch at a restaurant called Cow Fat. Cow Fat? Yup, you heard me. I had a salad with tomatoes, vinegar, onions, and grilled bread. Tara got some meat and a salad. Dad got grilled chicken and salad. And Mom, well, you know, she ate my tomatoes.
                    We got back to our hotel and took a break. Then we went to dinner. For dinner we had Toco Bello again. When we got back to our hotel, we played with puppy. ( Awesome name we gave her, right? ) We also found out they grew avacodo and some type of fruit too. We got to try the fruit. It had the shape of pomegranate, but the taste of mango. Strange. It finally got dark and we went inside to shower, watch a movie, and go to sleep.

 This is puppy. She's biting my shoe in the picture below.
