Mar. 1, 2008 - Guest Blogger: Ecuador Day 8 (Final day)

Day 8- February 15

We woke up and ate some more eggs. You guys should be thankful you eat something different every day! We then went to the airport.(Mr. Marbut, the missionary,  had left several hours earlier.) We got to the airport and unloaded our luggage, and I found out I forgot to put the sunscreen in the suitcase, so they disposed of it. Other than that, we had no trouble. Then dad and Mr.Tony bought some "exotic" flowers because their wives would beat them up if they didn’t bring home a Valentine’s gift, (Just kidding) and Ms. Sylvia bought some just because.We got to the airplane, and I slept almost all the way to Miami, minus eating lunch and looking out the window 45 minutes.

After getting there, the three people had to bring their flowers to the Agriculture place. They were checking for bugs so that the U.S. wouldn’t be overrun by weird bugs. They found ONE bug in Ms. Sylvia’s flowers that was the size of a fat No’See’Em, and they confiscated them!!

We had seven hours to kill until we flew to Nashville, so the same pastor who picked us up last time drove us to an outdoor place to eat. Several people wanted to take our picture, like they had never seen neon-shirted red-necks before! I got a pizza and dad got Fish n’ chips. After we ate at that outrageously expensive (Ten dollars a person!) resturant, we went to the church to a youth meeting that lasted until 8:00. (The plane left at 9)

After that, we went to the airport, went through security, and watched television for thirty minutes. And guess what! The television was in ENGLISH!! The airplane was REALLY late, though. We got on the airplane and I slept to Nashville. I didn’t even hear the airplane land I was THAT SLEEPY!

We sleepily went through security and got in the Peterson’s van. Most of us then slept to church, including me. We unloaded our luggage, went home, and I fell asleep before I hit the bed!
