Dear parents and friends,
Today we traveled from Quito to Riobamba, we got to rest a bit in the bus. Once in Riobamba we got to settle in La Primavera Hostel, what’s going to be home for the rest of the trip. Students played games and had fun in the green areas. Today we have learned a lot about the culture and history of Ecuador and Riobamba. We had an awesome city tour that allowed everybody to see some of the coolest and most important places of the city. We had a type of ice-cream that is very typical from Riobamba, it is called Helado de Paila. Que sabroso! Highlights of the day had been to get to explore the city, see people dress in their traditional outfits, and have time to get to know each other and nicely bond as a group.
Tomorrow, our very brave first leader of the day Keilana will be posting!
Hi Rebekah!! I love you very much! You’ve had quite a few busy days! I hope you are able to get some rest so you can enjoy the rest of the trip and you’re making awesome memories with new friends! Seeing your picture on here has brightened my day! I love you so much and I’m looking forward to hearing more from you and seeing your post as leader of the day.
Yayyy Sam! hugs and kisses from Papi, girls, Mateo and mom.

Wow I’m so jealous and at the same time so happy for you Brandy. Glad to know you’re able to explore Educator’s wonderful landmarks! Can’t wait to see what your journey will be like tomorrow 🙂
So important to explore other places and cultures. To understand their history. It allows us to step out of our unique situation and life to see how different and similar we are to other cultures. Great way to appreciate others. Can’t wait to here about your adventures, Bekha. So glad you get to experience all of this.
Hi Mari, Such exciting days you’re having. We love reading the blogs and hope you’re enjoying yourself. Aaron graduated today.
