hiccups!

so we had some trouble with our flights today. We had a flight to Lima for Cusco, which went fine. We then waited five peaceful hours at the airport, well not too peaceful as we were gaurding our luggage like hound dogs. We headed to Bogota on time, but when we got there there was no terminal to connect to. We only had forty five minutes to get to our next flight, and we ended up watching it take off without us. They parked the plane and made a bus come and get us and drive us into the airport, about 200m. I could have made it if they would have let me off the airplane when we got there! But I can't change that now. The airline put us up in a five star hotel here in Bogota and gave us dinner, all for free! There is a flat screen TV and the shower was like a rain forest, the most water pressure I have had in, well, maybe my whole life. The unfortunate thing is that I forgot to pack extra clothes in my carry on (it is so full of gifts!) and so I will have to wear my dirty clothes and I also don't have a hairbrush, which is the really unfortunate thing. I could buy one from the mini-bar for ten dollars, but that just seems like it would be indulging. Our luggage is already in  Quito, so hopefully it will be waiting for us with our family tomorrow. I feel bad b/c the family was waiting at the airport tonight, and we didn't show up. We called the director of the school who called to tell them but by the time all of this happened I'm sure they were already waiting. Hopefully they don't hold it against us! 

Here are some pictures from Tipon, a new archeological site about an hour outside of Cusco, we went on Thursday. They haven't had much money and half of the dig is privately owned, so it is hard to tell. My pictures are kind of dark b/c we were in the shadow so perhaps I will edit them a little and try and repost at some later date. The last couple are goodbyes with my favorite members of the family and some pictures of the house. It was cute, Evelita was almost crying today when we left, she just sat there with the saddest look on her face. Our family has hosted over 80 students since she was born, I'm sure it is hard for her to deal with loosing all of her friends! Adios, amigos! May god bless the rest of our travels and all of you as we head into "summer"! 

PS - The other day i got counterfeit money for change! I should have known, the lady I bought a water from me for one sol was furious I was trying to pay with a 20 sole bill and then later I tried to use on of the fives and the teller told me it was a fake. If you look at it next to a real one you  can really tell. Ty, I saved you a real one and the fake one for your collection! ;)
