For today, we woke up around 6 am to get ready for tutoring day #3. At 6:30, we ate a breakfast that consisted of a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, bread, fresh juice and scrambled eggs. After teaching ended at 9:45, we headed back to our hostel to give an evaluation on how the program and our coordinators are doing.
After the meeting, we had an hour of free time; we had the chance to leave the hostel but most stayed back because we didn’t have much time. After our hour of free time we had lunch. We had soup, meatballs, cabbage and rice. After lunch, we headed out into the city to explore for 4 hours. In my personal experience, I tried a crepe for the first time (Nutella), bought souvenirs, talked to my mom, met foreign exchange students from Germany, Iceland, and the USA. I talked to people who were learning English, saw a protest and then returned to the hostel with my group for dinner. We had soup again, chicken, rice, and vegetables.
Everyone was excited to have a free day and time to relax. Shoutout to my mom for comforting Marissa when we video chatted! Love you.
I was so nice to hear your voice baby girl, and to hear your excitement was even better. Continue being a blessing and know that you are loved and missed!!
It was such a treat to see your faces, I miss them <3 It's also very rewarding to see the excitement in your faces. Thank you all for sharing your stories it almost feels like I'm there with you. Have fun, explore alot and learn as much as you can! I love you Deve and Bri…Marissa I hope today is better.
Shout out to the Glimpsers that are posting the day’s endeavors to the Blog. What a great and informative, upbeat way to hear what this killer group is doing in Equador. (I can’t wait until Arden is the author!)
It was so great to hear Arden’s voice and how excited she is to be there. Thank you to Mahaila’s (sp?) parents for your wonderful daughter! Arden says she is the best roommate ever!
These sound like long days that they will never forget! Perfect. 🙂
