The people are very welcoming and whenever you greet someone new the females always kiss on the cheek. Sometimes this is awkward because I think they assume that since I am from the US I don´t know this and they don't try but I do...kinda awkward.
Anyway, you will never believe what I agreed to...sing in church. I want to help out and I think that is the only way I can...and yes I am a little afraid. I did meet a really nice girl my age named Lady and she wants to learn English so maybe we will be able to hang out.
So my first day at the clinic with Caty was crazy. Every Monday is a special program for moms and food is donated from the local supermarket. They watch different types of videos on parenthood or nutrition, etc and answer questions about it later.
Oh yeah and yesterday was Kid´s day..and it is a holiday. Kind of like mothers and fathers day but for the kids! I laughed out loud and somone looked at me like I was crazy. That´s why we have birthdays!! oh well .
I bought a cell phone yesterday but it is only able to do local calls. I am going to see if I can add calls to the states to it. It´s really cute.
The food here is really good to me. I get 3 meals a day at the house I am staying at and it´s good. Muy rica as they say here. Yesterday I had brown rice, 2 really big shrimp, salad, and some crab, and then ice cream with chocolate sauce and strawberries. mmmmmmmmm.... Ok that is all for now hope everyone likes reading this.
Kid's day is kinda funny and I'm really glad the food is good to you.

Kids day! What? I would have laughed out loud as well! The food sounds really yummy :) Sounds like you are having a good time. If you have any pregnancy questions just let me know.

Hey! Update your blog already!
ReplyDeleteMiss you - Momma
Is the real "Mexican" (I know its Ecuador) food better tan El Toreo?
ReplyDeleteYeah the food here so much better because it is fresher. But yeah El Toreo is nothing compared to being here. But I have never been to Mexico so I dont know what their food tastes like.
ReplyDeleteLori I will def. ask you any questions I have thanks for that.
Miss you all and will update blog probably tomorrow (6th of June).
Sorpresa!! Si,it's your old Spanish
ReplyDeleteMaestra,Sra. Leach!!! I am so proud of you chica! I always knew you would use your Spanish in agreat way,and now it appears you are!!
How long will you continue to be there? How did you come to get involved with this program? I so wish I could talk to you I have so many questions about the country. I have never been to S.America so you make me quite envious!
I know you are very busy, but look forward to hearing from you when you get a minute.
Love you and miss you~
Take care of yourself.

Sra.!! I just posted on your facebook page last night. I have three more weeks here. The country is beautiful. I am staying in Guayaquil with a family and I went to Quito this weekend. I would love to catch up when I get back. Tell me where you live and your numbers. Love you too.
