Hey look at me! I´m a tourist!

Day 2 in Ecuador and it feels like 2 weeks! I´m starting to be able to understand what most people are trying to say but thats like 25% of the time and being able to respond is a whole other story!

For breakfast we had bananas and yogurt with jello and lemonade bread. Surprisingly I wasn´t hungry before lunch today. After our Spanish Lessons we quickly went back to the house for lunch. Lunch was this interestingly good green cream based soup where you put popcorn in it and eat. We also has some kind of boneless fish which was also good and cucumbers and tomatos and rice. Rice is pretty much at every meal.



After lunch today we had to quickly return to school for our tour of old town in Quito. We first took the bus where we had to stand as the diver continually abrutly stopped and accelerated, it seems all the drivers here are crazy. Our first stop was a basillica. It was beautiful! There were gargoyles and tons of gothic architecture. Our guides only spoke spanish of course so I understood little or what people translated. We walked down some narrow streets as every car stared at our group.
Maybe it was because we had our cameras out or because we were wearing our backpacks in front of us, but we screamed tourists! We were told to do this because i guess people cut the bottom of the backpacks while you´re wearing them and steal everything in it that way.

When we reached the president of Ecuador´s house people started approaching us to buy scarves. They were pretty cheap and they were very persistant but only 2 people bought any. It was 2 small girls and their mother with a baby on her back selling them. This is when people knew we were toursits the most. They were circling and watching us like we were dinner and they were lions in africa or something! but anywayss we then went into the Presidents house, and the mayor was there. They also had guard like in London!

We kept walking until we reached a shop that sold nuts. Our guide had us try all sorts of candy and nuts. All were pretty good and a bag was only 25 cents so we bought 3 different kinds. Then we went to a pastry shop where we bout 2 pastries for only 1.45. And that pretty much leaves me at where I am now, an Internet Cafe.
