new life experience of the day: i got stung by a bee! and an ecuadorian bee at that. the bee tried to nest in my luscious, cozy hair and felt my head to figure out what i was feeling, it stung me in the finger.

and it's always surprising what a difference a slip of the tongue, the letters a and o, b and v can make when explaining something in spanish, like getting stung by a bee. bee is abeja in spanish but when ELLIE tried to explain what happened to her maid, she said that an oveja (not abeja), a sheep, had stung me. which is incorrect but humorous nonetheless.

so in other, slightly more important news, I'M MEETING THE PRESIDENT OF ECUADOR TOMORROW. yup. that will be my new life experience of the day for tomorrow. meeting a president, i really didn't think that would be something i did in my life.
