Nadia's Ecuadorian Adventure
Well I{m actually here! Its beautiful, Monika from our host family met us here with bunches of roses and we took a taxi through the city to here house in the centre, perfect for getting to everything! we had a lovely dinner with the other 2 people staying in the house called Ginger and Josh, they are from new Mexico and are here for 2 weeks to go the language school where we do our spanish lessons. We also met Hannah who I share a room with, shes on my project so no doubt well get to know eachother very well. Shes lovely. We watched a bit of ER in Spanish and then hit the sack, I slept sooo well! Then got up at 6 cos the kids where getting ready for school and we could hear them! had a shower and feel like a new person, then had breakfast with the best omlettes ever and a meeting with Monika. She took us to Gringo land where we are now, and were going to a craft market later and back home for lunch, Monika is testing us to see if we can get back by ourselves! Then we go to deposit documents and things.
I came with Elizabeth and Charlotte, Elizabeth is 33 (shell kill me for saying so!) and Charlotte is 18, and only here at the weekends as her project is outside Quito. Another girl, Dawn, is coming at the weekend.
Our Spanish isnt too great but have whipped out the phrasebook a few times and got by. Saying that I have realised my Spanish isnt as bad as I thought after all, i can sort of converse! fOR this week only Monika is speaking English, after that, Spanish only!
Anyway thats all for now, its gorgeous here, love it already! Running off adrenalin and yeah, everythings fantastic!
love,
Nadia xxxx
