Okay, so I didn't place much importance on this until Elizabeth told me the real story... (Oh, also to all the people involved in this plot, I feel dumb. But I also think it was really awesome and funny. And to everyone else, I know you'll enjoy this story.)
So, I arrive in Ecuador and meet everyone at the airport. Nathan (Elizabeth's boyfriend) clearly had a speech impediment and trouble walking and the like. Elizabeth had never mentioned it before, but Nathan obviously had special needs. He was really sweet, though, and I liked him.
We were walking out to the car and some British guy calls out to Uncle Earl, asking for a place to stay for the night and a ride, because he was trying to go to Lima to visit his aunt, but had missed his connecting flight and there wasn't another one until the next morning. So Uncle Earl agreed to take him to HCJB guest housing for the night. The whole way there this British guy talks to us about 'football' and singing and driving on the wrong side of the road and where we come from, etc, etc. He also said he was a journalist, which caught my interest. (Writers must stick together. :) ) So we drop him off and then drop Nathan off at his house and head home. That night Eli complains about the creepy British guy and how awkward it was to sit beside him.
The next night, Eli says, "I wasn't supposed to tell you this, but..." and proceeds to explain how it was all a big joke: Nathan is completely normal and the 'British guy' was actually another of her guy friends, Josh. I felt so dumb. Man, I had seen pictures of Josh on Facebook and even thought the British guy looked somewhat familiar, but it just did not click. I'm going to blame it on overtiredness.
So, last night I went to Eli's drama and met (for real this time) Nathan and Josh. Haha, they're great. And as dumb as I feel, their plan was fantastic. I am still laughing about it. XD
Other a
dventures I've had: Got to hold their snake. I'll post pictures of that eventually. Went up to Papallacta with Uncle Earl yesterday. Got to see a bunch of power plants and gorgeous scenery and went to the hot springs. And, as I've already said, I went to Eli's drama last night, Antigone. It was a wonderful production and I may be a wee bit biased, but Eli was fantasmagorical!!! :D As was Zachary - his ability to keep a straight was extremely impressive!!! Bravo. I had lunch with Eli today at school - yay, rice! It was tasty. And I actually worked on some Bio this afternoon! Yay, me!
Well, I think that's pretty much it...
