Hey! This is Marcie and Sibo, the chillest LDDs (Leaders del Dia) 🙂 Our day started off with a late wakeup time of 8:15 am (much needed after some very long days). We ate a light breakfast of crackers, chicken nuggets, oranges, tea, and coffee at Roma Santa. Thank you Isabel! After our lovely breakfast we finally broke out into our free day groups (the first time we were able to go out on our own) and explored areas such as La Plaza Roja, Cafe Paris, and various gift shops to search for souvenirs. On the way to lunch we ran into a group of goats, probably a soon to be meal. 🥘 At Roma Santa we ate shrimp, chicken wings, salad, rice, and guava juice. (Marcie also had elote). After lunch was exploring the city part 2. Finally we returned to Isabel’s and played a game of song association while waiting for the food. We had bolognese-style pasta, salad, and amazing tea that settled our stomachs. (Marcie had garbanzos with pesto in place of the pasta). When we got back to the hotel, we got our laundry back, (yay) quickly went through the nightly meeting and now people are getting ready for bed. Lights out 30 minutes earlier because tomorrow is CAP day 1 yipeee!
We out,
-Marcie and Sibo
Chicken nuggets for breakfast? Well, at least it wasn’t goat nuggets!😂
All is well here, Zoe. I helped out at the school today, sorting and packing the supplies for the teachers. A couple of 10th graders from the high school helped me out. We were chatting about all the schoolwork/homework and which teachers they couldn’t stand. Reminded me of our after school chats and of how much I miss you. I told them all about you and Global Glimpse.
I love you more than you know 🤗💙 Mom
Jordan I’m so happy I got to talk to you today 😁 I know it’s not easy being away from us (cause I feel the same way) but this is an amazing opportunity for you to grow 🌻 and adapt. Stay strong JD. Remember if you can wrestle, you can do anything 💪🏽🤼♀️ Love and miss you 🫶🏽- Dad, Mom and Bro’s 🦁
Hi Zoe, crackers and chicken nuggets sound like an interesting combination and I would differently try the elote. Yeh, I had to look that one up on google. Hope you’re adjusting to the change in altitude and diet. BTW, no group photo today, so I wasn’t able to see you. That was disappointing. Hope we get one tomorrow.
Love you lots sweetie always!
Dad
That is nice y’all had a free day of rest and exploring before it gets more involved with the CAP. Those goats look pretty chill, too!
Abrazote grande, Sibo! Te extraño but it is not so bad because these daily updates help me get a glimpse of you :o)
Mamá
I am glad you all had a chance to really check out shops and really spend some time just enjoying Riobamba. I hope you got to buy some cool souvenirs. I can’t wait to talk to you Aaliyah about all your experiences there.
Aaliyah I hope by now you are really starting to feel better about being there away from home for a little while. I know that first it may seem like you miss home and family but as days go by I know your not going to want to leave. We miss you very much and can’t wait to see you and hear all of your stories.
We love you very much!!!
Meghan, try the goat if it’s offered. It’s not too baaaaaaaaad. Alternatively, you could kid-nap one and bring it back home as a pet. Although, I think Dad and I would butt heads over it. He’d be pretyy maaaaaaad. Goatta go!
Love you!
