Days 28 & 29: Parks and Unicentro Mall

Caroline was finally feeling better yesterday, so we went to the park again. These girls love to play there. Luisa is getting more comfortable with us, and as a result is getting more confident to slide, swing, crawl through the tunnel, etc. The merry go round was still a favorite.

 

 

 

 

 

After lunch and nap, we went to Crepes and Waffles with another mom and her baby that are staying here. We just went for an afternoon treat of ice cream, but it pretty much ended up being Caroline's and my dinner (of course, Philip and Luisa still ate when we got back to the hotel).
Today we walked down to Unicentro, which is a huge mall nearby.  We wandered around for a bit (it is really big) until Caroline walked straight into a plate glass door and gave herself a bloody nose.  We had some sweet mall employees trying to help us, but all we could make out was "agua fria" (cold water) and "helado" (ice cream).  I guess they thought that would be the best treatment.

We eventually found the play area we had been told about.  The girls loved the rides.  They both had a huge melt down when we left.  It was the first time (of many, I'm sure) that both were seemingly inconsolable simultaneously.  We just walked it off.

 

 

 

 

This mural is on the way from the hotel to anywhere we are walking.  Caroline loves to stop by and see it every time we pass it.
