Uneventful Events

Good news! Andy made it out of bed long enough to go to the grocery store, and not just the local Micro Mercado or even the mid-size spot we found, but Mega Maxi, you know, the Walmart-like-place that I think I failed to mention is within the only mall in Ambato, Mall of the Andes, which adds a certain something to the traffic dimension around the joint.  Most importantly, we now have three boxes of whole milk, one bag of cream (I know right, a bag?), and two mounds of butter.  In short, the necessities. 

Of course, right before we left for the store I said, "It looks like it's going to rain."  But, did that spur us to grab a rain coat or layer?  Absolutely not.  Thus, while we flagged down a bus that glanced at us and zoomed right by, it began to rain.  A little dribble-drabble until it started pittering and pattering and ultimately, it rained so hard that it transitioned from background noise to a full-on onslaught of precipitation.  We hid under an overhang and eventually caught a cab.

As you can tell, it was a highly eventful day yesterday. 

This morning we went to church.  We left two and a half hours later.  I know what you're thinking: but I managed to stay within the same two foot radius for two and a half hours, while Andy obviously had no problem with the movement constraints.  Oh, that wasn't what you were thinking? You were thinking, "Good heavens, a two and half hour church service?"  Don't worry, we were thinking that too.  But all in all, it was just fine.
