Ucaquien and Church

On Sunday we went to church. We biked there, it was about a twenty minute ride. It is easy to get there because on Sunday mornings they close down some roads so that people can run, walk, or bike without trouble. It is called ciclovia. The church was pretty modern with a band and projectors for the words to the songs. It was in spanish so I couldn't understand it, but I followed along with the versus.

After church Maddie stayed home and just Mrs. Faber, Elena and I went to a market called Uciquien. It was another market with some food, but mostly bags, clothes and colombian stuff.  I got a bag that is made with a Colombia technique with the fabric called mola. I also got a cool Bogota shirt from Mrs. Faber. We had these things called churros. They are basically like strips of elephant ear. They're Mexican, and tasted really good. Then I tried three juices with chunks of fruit in them. One of the, was good, one was okay, and the other wasn't that good, but it was a good idea to try them. There were also people selling dogs and cats. There was this one cat that was so cute! Elena and Mrs. Faber both wanted it, but Mrs. Faber said they didn't need another cat. Elena still didn't give in. Finally they made a deal that if all the pets go with Maddie and Damon Elena could get any pet she chooses.
