Tobia

A few days ago the plan was to go white water rafting in Tobia. Mr. Faber had the day off of work so we could all go. On the highway on the way there we got a flat tire. We had to call someone for help. We were along side of the road for about an hour and a half. Luckily Maddie had brought a game for us that kept us entertained. Then our tire got changed to the spare, but it would only be good for a short amount of time so we went to the closest town to get it fixed. That took about an hour, so while we were waiting, we got this Colombian food called empanadas. It is like a hard shell of corn flour stuffed with different things inside like rice and meat. It was very good. Then when the tire was ready we called the white water rafting place to see if they still wanted us to come. We were off to Tobia again. About a half an hour later, at a toll booth for the highway, a police officer pointed to our tire. After we payed we found that the same tire was flat, so we got it changed by some workers on the toll road. Then again the spare would only be good for a short amount of time, so we went back into town, and decided we weren't going to go. While we were getting the tire fixed again. We got ice cream. The lady that was scooping the ice cream for us, was trying to convince us of not putting certain flavors. She told Damon that he could not get a scoop of chocolate, and then mandarin. He finally convinced her to let him have it. It was actually pretty funny. When the tire was good we left town, back to Bogota. On the way back we stopped at a stand with honey and jam. We bought a few jars, and got back in the car. When we got home it was 5:00. When we left that morning it was about 9:00.
