WOOHOOO I was so pumped to see that I had 6 comments on my latest blog post. (Yes, mom and dad, I got your ¨test¨ posts.) Thanks guys!! =) Life is still great here in Ecuador.
Today I had my first bus ride commute through Quito...que loco!! My Ecuamami (host mother) walked me and another voluntaria to the bus stop this morning and yelled to the bus driver to tell him exactly where to stop for us. The ride there was only about a half hour, but the ride home was about an hour, including the time that we walked, which was about a third of the way.
A quick FYI for those who want to see some fotos de Ecuador: I forgot my camera cord. I am so used to just putting the SD card right into my computer that I didn´t even think about it. But I promise that as soon as I receive that from the US I will post some pics. Hopefully I will go back to my Ecuafriend Alex´s apartment soon so I can take a picture of the view from his place. It´s absolutely the most beautiful vista I´ve ever seen and I doubt that a picture will capture the beauty of Quito, but it is worth a try. The mountains are awesome....
Speaking of los montañas, I got my ass kicked by the altitude yesterday at our host family picnic. We had a great time playing frisbee and a bit of Ecuavolley, but once the soccer started I was wiiiinded. I really thought I was going to die, but I had to keep playing hard because the loser had to buy the beers. Needless to say, my team won! Ganadores!!! My host brother must not be too enojado still, because I think I am going out for drinks with him tomorrow.
Also mañana I will get my cell phone. I also got my address in Ambato today, though I forgot to bring it across the street to the internet cafe where I am sitting. More info to follow soon. I also need to set up a skype account. They have headsets here at this cafe so that will be okay sometimes! E-mail is so easy though.
I am gonna head back to mi piso to eat dinner, but will check in again soon. Hasta pronto.

Hola
Espero que uses mas espanol en el futuro.
Las fotos son estupendas y yo se que vayas a divertirte mucho y que vayas a tener mucho exito.
Con amor,
Tu profesora de espanol, Pat.
Hi Sar,Keep it coming, but leave out the part about almost dying next time:)Sounds like everything is wonderful and exciting, and that's just the way it should be!Can you give me a hint about where I might find your camera cord? Should I send it to Quito or Ambato? Miss you much....Did you get my e-mail?Mom
Hey Sara,
Hello from Bouyea - Good to hear you made it safely and are enjoying yourself. We will continue to check and send messages!
address!
Hey Smaki!
Glad to hear that all is well! Good for you girl!!!!!
The "hood" misses you.....
OXOXOXOXOX
I was just looking at flights next July to Quito and they are $575. I'll pay half if you pay half haha.
Sara!!!
I am glad to see that you have made it safe and sound. I have good news! I am leaving Bouyea & Associates and moving back to Atlanta! Barbara is being typical Barbara and not talking to me it is great fun. I think Jerry is mad yet happy for me and Marybeth and the rest of the girls (Linda included) are all excited I am getting out. Well, continue to keep us all posted on what you are up to and all of your current adventures. Ciao! Jen
Smaki! I like it! Glad to hear all is going well. The picture is great! It makes me want to book a flight! Good luck with your adventure, it sounds exciting and challenging, especially the soccer at 9000 feet! Anything to avoid buying the beer! Your dad taught you well! :-)
Hi Sara,
Send some Ecuadorian tomato recipes since we've OD'd on our daily tomatoes with basil , garlic , and olive oil.Forgot those with the toasted guinea pigs. Rox is fine but bored since no one's here during the day. Muffler fell off the Acura but Al's reattached it with coat hangers. It'll live till his graduation.
Love ya
Hi!
I'm dying to send you mail so when you have an address, pass it along. You are missed greatly and I'm in denial that you aren't down the street.
My life is not nearly so exciting...I spend 6 days a week with my head in a book. :) Keep posting the interesting details (like the scented toilet paper and your host mother yelling at teh bust driver) because those are my favorite parts.
Love you,
M.K.T.
Hey Sara! Can't wait to see the chic haircut! It has to be better than the time you did your hair when you were a tree! Dem and Michela were just here for breakfast and were missing that Smaki wasn't just up the street to go see her :(. It's awesome that you are taking advantage of so much. Can't wait to read more updates!
