High on Quito

I arrived in Quito late at night after a long flight from Buenos Aires. The flight actually went by fairly quickly, and I had a bit of a chat with an Ecuadorian guy sitting next to me (some of it was even in Spanish!). I got up early the next day to have a look around the city. But first, I...

The Homestay!

The homestay was a little awkward from day one, but this was an obvious, expected, and even welcomed transgression from the norm. It was a monday and I had just finished my first day of school with my teacher, Mercedes. Lunchbox and locker combination in hand I was introduced to my adoptive...

Mitad Del Mundo

Our first week in Ecuador has been QUITO an experience. Our spanish grows by leaps and bounds. We are constantly confronted by words from the dizzying array of signs, the pushy shopkeepers, and not to mention the unrelenting inn keepers. It is a long ardous process that in all reality will take...

my last days on the equator

Yesterday was my last full day in this beautiful country. It is so unreal. I know that I am leaving today, but it just doesn't seem real. Though I'm excited to be going back to see family and friends, it will be quite different from living in Ecuador and I will miss certain things about my life...

the end of being in the middle

This week was the end of my teaching cycle, and full of reviewing, grading and lots of paperwork. A good experience overall. The language institute for which I worked is great. A wonderful group of people, very supportive and understanding. I will miss it there a little. But I miss kids more, so...
