Bachelors

Taylor and I were bachelors for the day. Ellyn and Dustin went to Quito to see the dentist and orthodontist. Ellyn is getting a cap on a tooth, and the temporary one fell off earlier this week. Good thing she had to take Dusitn up anyway. Taylor enjoyed the lunch I made for him, a rarity. I fried some potatoes and put some ham lunch meat in with them. He said that was better than salchi papas, his favorite Ecuadorian food! Not bad, and I didn't even have to open a box of macaroni and cheese. Then, for dinner, we
rode over into town to eat at our equivalent of McDonalds. Dinner was typical Ecuadorian, and we both enjoyed the meal. Taylor was convinced the meat was fish, when it was really a thin breaded piece of beef. The juice was mora, made with a raspberry-like fruit. Of course, I am always happy drinking G¸itig with my meals--just like Perrier, but without the fancy price. The two of us ate for $2.70! Ellyn and Dustin were home by 8:30 PM, and their trip went well. Dustin had a bit of a fever last night, and he came home with a fever, but he wanted to go anyway. He did say that this trip seemed longer than usual. Wonder why!? I think the reason he wanted to go so badly that he went even being sick, was that he wanted to buy some parakeets. They came back with two; one for Dustin and one for Taylor. We've had them before, and already had a cage, and some food.
