yummm frutas!!

Well today Isabellas husband was here. We met him at breakfast, and he seems very nice. There was also another guy here and I have no idea who he was but he slept here too. For breakfast we just had watermelon and bread. and some kind of wonderful juice of course. Ít´s a different type of juice everyday!




Class today was shorter than normal because we went to the market where we tried tonsss of different fruit! aka 15. All of them were something i´ve never had before and they all looked super exotice! Even the bananas tasted a little different!! This market was HUGE!!! After we spent about an hour tasting fruit we walked around to see the rest of the market. First we walked throught the vegetable section then this herb section that was selling "love potions" which were basically perfume but julia and I had to buy some Then came the meat secion. All I have to say is ew. there was just raw meat everywhere! I touch a fish too! Standing by it for a picture i accidently touch itt!! ahh haha. well anyways next was this basket/tricket section. Then came the flowers. It was very beautiful! each section just had things piled high to the ceiling! It was so so interesting. we bought our host mother flowers for a doller, a dozen roses! ;)

AFter the market we walked to a store so people could get boots for the volunteer project. On our way there there were these 2 sketchy looking boys who seemed to be selling these out of date dirty posters. When we passed they tried selling them to us but after we passed they followed us. Especially my friend Alex. The 2 of them would not leave her alone and she was getting annoyed and telling them to leave. Next thing I know shes on the grounded scrambling to grab her camera and 10 dollar bill. She said as the boy was putting the poster in front of her he was reaching to her fanny pack and unzipping it, but when she tripped over him because she was trying to push him away her camera and bill fell out of his hand. Luckyly she got all her stuff back, but it deffinetly made everyone else more cautious with their stuff, especially around little boys with ugly posters!

After we got back to the school we walked back to our host mothers house and quick stopped at the market yet again to pick up some bracelets haha. For lunch we had soup yet again and rice and some kinda of meat.

For 2:30 we were back at the school to cook dinner. We chopped and diced tons of stuff. The guy kept telling me to follow him cause he needed my help but he never told me what to do so i ended up just following haha. but anyways the dinner we had so sooo good. We had these potato patties filled with mozerella and onions, which is like totillas here. when we made them they were sooo hot they like burned out hands!! haha We also had sausage. The egg was not cooked all the way through so i did not touch that haha. I tried avocado for the first time and right after I took a bite everyone looked at me and was like "you eat the skin?!" whoops guess youre not supposed to haha. We also had this hot sauce that was super hot but good. I was soo full by the end.

After our school dinner we went to the market with Alex and Carrie. I bought another pair of pants haha and got some for other people who asked me to pick them up a pair so i had a whole bag full of pants. we were there for ever, i was soo tempted to buy tons of stuff but i made myslef wait because we are going back to the market in a few weeks.

When we got home everyone was just knida doing there own thing. We had a late night meal which was just soup and Isabella had a cake for Julia and I because its our last night here. At dinner we gave our host family a book about new york which is pretty much just pictures but they seemed to like it a lot. Isabella gave us a little keychain change purse that says ecuador on it. AFter dinner Julia and i did the dishes while it seemed like everyone was getting ready to leave. We were soo confused. AFter a while Isabella came to say good bye and we said good bye to everyone and took pictures and everything. AFter they left, their friend had come earlier and stayed when they left, her friend told us they werén´t coming back until saturday! haha good thing we chose to give them the book tonight and not in the morning like we planned!

Well tomorrow we leave for Puerto Machallia for our volunteer project, i´m not sure how much internet we will get there but hopefully we´ll have some!! ps i just had my first warm shower in a week!! Its a good sign!!
