Proving the name

Here is an example of why I call this blog Every day's an adventure

I had quite the adventure trying to get home last night. First when I got the bus, it started moving before I sat down and I almost fell into some lady's lap. Oops. At least she seemed to think it was somewhat amusing. Then when I got home, I open the door and Nico the dog dart out and ran down the street. I started chasing after him but then realized I should shut the door. When I turned back around, he was gone. I walked quickly down the street looking for him. I didn't know which way he turned but saw two ladies talking half a block in one direction. I asked them if they had seem a grey dog run by which turned into a 5 minute discussion about a pretty brown dog they see a lot. Eventually I figured out they had not seen Nico. So I started walking back towards the house because lots of times he goes by the school across the street and there he was. I chased him back to the house. He was running and got way ahead of me. He spied two bags of garbage someone had out on the corner and decided it was his. So here is this crazy dog running down the street with a bag of garbage and me following after him. Luckily he decided just to wait by the front door with his garbage. In one quick move, I let in him and pulled the bag out of his mouth and left it outside of the door. Later I asked Myriam if she saw the gift Nico left outside the door. She said she was confused as to why there was a bag of garbage outside. I told her the whole story and she thought it was hilarious.

More to come on Otavalo soon...
