Gifts from Ecuador

Hello! 

Coffee

 I was so tired when I woke up this morning I was wishing for someone to make me a cup of coffee and pour it into my mouth, because I did not think I could move! Been so busy at work and with home projects that I am exhausted.  But move I did. I even found time to visit Ms Y and her husband just back from Ecuador.

Gifts!

They were so sweet as to bring me back this SUPER soft cape jacket! SO PRETTY!

:)

AND AND

Lovely!

And a really nice knitted scarf in pretty purple. 

Flower!

Isn't this too cute! Super nice of them to think of me!

They had a really interesting time. Ms Y became ill the first day and was in bed until the day before they left! The doctor came to their hotel twice and she was diagnosed with Altitude sickness, meaning her body could not tolerate the higher altitude. (They were staying in a town at the foot of the Andes Mountain range) She said that she had never had that kind of problem before, as she had been to Aspen, Colorado and also been to various places in the mountains of Japan. *(She used to live there.)

But these things can come out of nowhere. She said her blood pressure went up, she had horrible headache and was sick to her stomach - just really an awful feeling. Then she had nose bleeds- OMG! Feel so bad for her!  So they didn't get to do 1/2 of the stuff they had planned. :(


(Yet, she still found time to get me such sweet gifts, awwwe) 

Bummer of a trip.

So maybe with the right meds she might be able to return, but at this point she is not thinking so.  She is not a fan of taking medication so.... :(   NO!

She did say everyone in the hotel, the Doc and all they people they ran into were super nice and ready to help. Things were cheaper than in Texas, but were not as cheap as some people would have you believe. Her husband has been to most places in South America and he really liked Ecuador the best. 


But there are still many wonderful places left in the world to explore.  

And speaking exploring...

Hope you are doing both..

One of my buddies from NOLA called me today and was giving me the full schedule for Sunday, this Sunday. Down to the last detail. I was like ok, don't know why, but ok. I listen and concur, "pretty busy one,  you." 
(My cajun kicked in lol) 

They: "Then like, um well, will that work? "
Me: "Um K, Work with what, man?"
They: "You have ride down to Quarter, I no pick you up, Cher? Or do I need?" 
Me: "K, I have way, man, No sweat."
They: "What time your plane land, you?"
Me: "HUH? Be Early one"
They: "Uh-huh, Um how early one?"
Me: ????? 
They: Silence 
ME: LAUGHS ASS OFF - "Really early one, in 10 days" HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA
They: "NO Shit?!  you not here Dimanche????!!!!! Thank GOD! I so busy, Cher. I throw all in river for you, Cher, but um that better one."
