Sorry Maggie that I ddnt see you before I left, I hope life is treating you well and look forward to seeing you when I´m home:)

Ok....so now whats happened in this last week?! I´ve changed my program in CENIT. I am now working with the homeless children who sleep in the markets 3 days a week doing play therapy. Is really interesting and something new. We let them express emotions through play and allow them to have a safe environment to play and interact with other childen. School is not much better but still teachingevery morning but I tend to hide in the staff room at break time in order to avoid the 400 children who find it fun to ask how we say every single name they can possibly think of in english! Found a wonderful english bookshop lastnight- debbie you´d love it! Bought myself a spanish grammar book and hopefully I wil keep improving!

Went out last night for the first time there is a bar "bungalow 6" which girls go in free and can get free cocktails from 7-10! Perfect:)

I have discovered that there is such thing as a nice buss driver!! Me and Stef went to the wrong entrance at the trole (kinda like the tube but above ground) stop and saw the bus coming too fast for us to get to the other end but the bus driver stopped and allowed us to run infront of it as it drove behind us, buy our tickets and get on! Did have a funny experience the other morning on the trole...it was completely packed there were people squished against the windows, but at my stop people got off so I was waiting politely for them to get off befor Igot on and then suddenly a man picked me up and chucked me on!! Considering the Ecuadorian men are like half my height I was some what shocked!!

Off to Mitad del Mundo this weekend..will update you next week.

Lots of love n hugs x x x
