We started the day by waking up at 8:00 am and heading to Roma Santa for a breakfast of chicken, pork, and beef tamales, yogurt, granola, and fruit.
Since we finished the CAP project a day early, we had a change of plans and explored Ricpamba, a beautiful park full of nature and culture. There was a diverse variety of flora and fauna from all over Ecuador, which included llamas, flowers, butterflies, cows, and birds. We also met indigenous dancers who were recording a video showcasing their skills in their cultural dance.
After a lot of walking and eating bananas and granadillas, we took the bus back to Roma Santa and had a lunch of rice, salad, fried fish, and soup that consisted of yuca, corn, and beef, with lemonade.
We headed back to the hotel to have our CAP debrief to talk about our strengths and weaknesses as a group and as individuals and how this project positively impacted the community and ourselves.
As a reward, we were able to explore Riobamba in small groups without the guidance of the GGLs. This allowed us to practice accountability, responsibility, and punctuality. The different groups went to the Internet Cafe, Cafe Paris, and explored multiple shops along the streets.
Around 4:00 pm, we arrived at Nazareno and began the English tutoring sessions. The Beginner class played a game of number bingo, Intermediate went over directions, and Advanced discussed and practiced vocabulary.
During dinner, we sang to Nestor, celebrated his 17th birthday with a delicious cake by Isabella at Roma Santa, and ate burgers and potato wedges.
Around 7:30 pm, we held our Nightly Meeting, where we passed the torch to Emely and Gaby, who will be wonderful leaders and keeping us in check during our free day tomorrow.
Buenas Noches y Muchas Gracias,

Herro Ate We miss you very much. Our chickens miss you too. Fluffball went out on the streets the other day and lolo was scaring her so she kept running. There were two strangers walking on the sidewalk and they heard me running to her and looked back. They seemed really confused to see a chicken on the sidewalk but kept walking anyway. We got her and put her back in the coop she’s fine now. 🙂 For the Fourth of July we didn’t watch the fireworks we just watched trollhunters and finished all of it :). lol.
P.S. Google locked you out because it doesn’t know if you’re the one using it.
P.P.S LOVE YOUUU XOXO MISS YOU TOO <3
Happy Birthday Nestor!

I tried to send a message earlier but got a notice that it did not go through, so I am trying again. I surely enjoy the picture of my Brennen! Oh my goodness, what a large bottle of water. He must have been very thirsty
It is so great to read about the activities of each day. I miss my guy, but am very happy for all the many wonderful experiences that are happening. I look forward to seeing you when you come home and hearing all about everything.
My compliments to the adult leaders and organizers who have planned all these extraordinary happenings for these young people.
My love and best wishes to all and of course to my Brennen
