Remember that time I said I would make a blog for my trip? Well. I wasn't lying. So here it is! I arrived last night around 6 pm, central time (that's the time zone I'm in) to the airport in Quito. My travel here went very smoothly. My co-operative teacher, Mr. Quiring, (the teacher with whom I will student teach) and another man met me at the airport and took me back to the house for delicious home-cooked food. Then we came to the school and I got unpacked and went to sleep. I haven't had much time to explore yet, but everyone seems nice, there are mountains close by, I can take hot showers, and the sun is shining. So the stage is set, and I'm ready for action. After I sleep a little more.
This afternoon I might be going to the center of the world, just for an after-church day trip. Are you jealous? bahaha. you probably should be. I will keep you posted with things that I do and learn that are for more interesting than this, I'm sure. Love love,
Katie
Are you gonna meet Carlos and Esteban and Carla and all the others?
ReplyDeleteI went to the center of the world! Make sure they take you to the REAL equator too :D. I'll be reading every entry because I love you an Ecuador, so this blog is high interest for me! I hope your first day of school goes well tomorrow!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you made it safely!! Have fun and keep us updated...Edinboro went well we got third in our bracket out of 8, but 2 teams never showed up and Fredonia left early. So it was really 3/5 but we all played well and the weather was nice :) Miss you, good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you made a blog! I will look forward to hearing how everything is going for you. This is so exciting! I hope your first day is going well!
