On Mother's Day I was supposed to go with Gina to Mindo, but I woke up not feeling so well. Instead Gina came over to watch Joshua while Leah, Leo and Lucas went to brunch. When they came back, Leo barbecued. I was still feeling really tired, so I ended up falling asleep on the couch inside. Leah went out with Gina and then for a walk with Lucas and when I woke up, Joshua wanted to play. I played with him for a couple hours and then put on a movie since he wore me out. :)
On the 9th Leah took me to the post office so I could mail all my postcards and that night we went to another yoga class with Gina. The instructor had us do handstands and this other girl was doing a handstand on her forearms, so I decided to try it too. I was so proud that I was able to do it. :)
On the 10th, Leah and her family took me to the airport. It was a long trip back to San Diego. I went from Quito to Lima, from Lima to Los Angeles, and then Los Angeles to San Diego. My flight to San Diego had been changed and I had to wait 6 hours in the LA airport. I'm not sure what it is about the LA airport and me, but it likes to hold me hostage there. Plus I had the privilege of having my suitcases searched coming in through LA. The guy was asking me all sorts of questions and so I had told him I was a software engineer among other things. I was busy trying to pack up what he had already gone through and he told me that the chocolate I had brought from Ecuador had coca in it. I said, "Really?" and that I had bought it in a grocery store. He said it's legal there but not in the US. He said something like, "Come on, miss software engineer." After I thought about it a little more, I realized he was referring to cacao. He must have realized what an idiot he had been because he didn't confiscate it from me. ;) I was so happy to see my dad waiting for me at the airport after such a long time traveling...
