Un día mas interesante

Okay. So today megan and i were essentially running late for life. the alarm was set for six fifteen in the hopes of a warm shower... therefore we woke up at seven ten. just in time for me to take a luke warm shower (no complaints, it was bearable) and for us to have our seven thirty breakfast.... which occured at seven forty five... (jello, bananas with yogurt, bread, cafe de ecuador! aka instant coffee haha) then we needed to go to school and be there by eight. we just made it with enough time to grab water and tea at school and head to the classroom. today in my class we did the past tense which i have always sucked at and basically mi professor juan was like omg this girl is hopeless because i either asked him questions or pretended to understand and then got caught in the lie when i couldnt answer a follow up question. then we walked home for a quick lunch (green soup with some weird cream in it which was good, and she had us put popcorn in it. at first i was like uhhh okay, but it was actually really awesome. then we had this awesome fish-and i usually hate fish- and rice as usual) then we took a taxi back to school and went on a tour of the city. it was sooooo beautiful. we went to the basillica or however you spell it and we walked around the central square and visited la casa del presidente! aka the white house of ecuador. hay mas membros de la policia! (lots of police there) there were also those guards that stood like statues and you could take pictures with them and they couldnt laugh or make a face or anything lol therefore all of us gringos took tons of picturs. we also tried some home made candied nuts and hard taffy that this store on the street made (maiz? mais? maze)idk what it was called something like that (she is making it behind me). we also had some local bread that was delicious of course (megan is eating some in the picture :) ). what was funny was that everywhere we went people stared. i mean i cant blame them but they literally circled us like vultures about to feed on their prey. like seriously, we understand, we are gringos (tourists) but you dont need to pounce on us and eat us for dinner! anyways we carried our bags on our fronts as Julio the school director told us to, and we were fine. anyways then meg and i went to an internet cafe again and came home for dinner (left over soup, and then a pasta dish with broccoli) after we hung out with the kids for a bit we uploaded pics and now we are doing our homework... and studying.... because we suck at spanish.

megan estudia los numeros para su clase de español. she literally counted to one hundred. then she tried to do it again and i told her she was going to be sleeping outside con peluchin, the family´s dog.
