Today was shopping day. Hiking boots for Tristan, sandals for me and Celso and a laptop to keep in touch with you lot. We found a fab little HP Notebook, with web cam and speakers and we are trying to learn how to use Windows Live and Skype.
If any one can interpret dreams please tell us about this one.
Celso went driving from Misahualli (where his mum lives in Ecuador) towards the nearest 'big' town called Tena, however he ended up in the town where he went to school - Palora. He wondered why everyone was looking at him, he thought it was because he had such a posh car, but then he realised that he was driving a cooker, an electric one with 4 rings and it was filthy, with oil and bits of food all over it. He was desperately trying to find somewhere to hide it when he woke up in a panic...
Tristan dreamt that our trip was over and that he was now the proud owner of this notebook computer. Is that an omen that our trip will be over too quickly?
Anyway, back to reality. We found out why Toronto seems such a drab, grey place. All the shops are underground in a network (7KM) of tunnels called 'The Path'. You go down there and it is as modern and vibrant as anywhere. It is all down there so that there can still be amazing shopping when it is freezing and snow covered in the middle of winter... Incredible.
At dusk we went up the CN Tower, (the tallest free standing structure in the world - apparently). The sun was setting and it actually made Toronto look quite beautiful. Even though I'm terrified of heights I felt quite comfortable until Tristan went and trod on, jumped on, lay on and rolled on the glass floor. I could only peer over the edge but it made me feel quite sick. It was really windy and cold on the open air viewing platform... you'll see the photo; by pressing the title to link to our photo album; of me looking nearly blown away and Tristan above the huge drop on the glass floor.
A Japanese supper followed, spicy noodles and chicken and prawns followed by sushi, and then those lovely showers again and bed.. more tomorrow.
