Sept 12-- A day of shopping!

We left today around 11:30 and returned at 4:00-- a full day of shopping at an artisan store. (Brian was in heaven...ha...ha...)
This shop was about a 10 minute cab rid from Halifax.
There were 3 stories of Colombian treasures...pottery, hand crafts, etc. Lucia picked out her Colombian present, which was a doll wearing the traditional Colombian dress. She was the happiest little girl in the world playing with this doll. And yes, if you are wondering...I found a terrific pottery coffee mug to add to my collection! We also got Silas some gifts for his future Dia de Bienvenidos celebrations.
For lunch, we had some American food, well sort of. The cheeseburger came with fried yucca. Tasty, but tougher to chew than french fries. The fresh mango juice hit the spot!
Since we were gone for the day, Silas took his nap in the stroller, which is very uncomfortable. This stroller is for the birds. We bought a cheap one b/c last time we flew, Delta snapped our Combi in half and replaced it with a recalled dinosaur stroller. So we didn't want to chance messing up a nice one. Now we are wishing we would have taken the chance. This stroller is very hard to push and it it is very hard for sitting. We try to make is as comfortable as possible for him.
This afternoon Lucia played and played with the other kids at the hotel. Fun memories.
