yesterday I spent the morning finishing up my papers and our group brochure on all of Ecuador (all the descriptions were rather short given the limited amount of space). I gave a presentation on Ecuadorian Food which was actually kind of fun since I knew what I was talking about and I had yummy-looking pictures of all the foods. My teacher was pleased with our progress in speaking; she said we've all improved since the midterm presentations.
After classes, we had a end-of-program get-together will all the host families and students. We had snacks, juice, recieved ACLAS t-shirts, and said our goodbyes. Then we went out with our teachers, which was very entertaining. I will miss them a lot.
This morning I slept in with zero guilt that I was not doing something important. I started packing and I still have a huge mountain of stuff on my bed that will most definitely not fit in a backpack. I will be attempting to figure out that problem shortly...
My maid didn't come today, so we went to a restaurant for lunch. Then I met up with Ali, Erica, Annie and Joey and we went wandering around Quito doing nothing for way too long. We probably spent half an hour in a DVD shop but they walked away with a fatty collection of new movies. We the walked around for forever again trying to find the Esmeraldas Transport bus station, which is more or less in the party district of town, of course haha. We found it after wandering around FOREVER. Then I came home and now have 4 hours to kill before heading to the bus station for a nice 7 hour bus ride to Esmeraldas to start the beach adventure! I won't have a computer but I'll update the blog/answer emails when I get the chance.
Love, Alex
