So today my morning shift was in Casa Esperanza. IT has probably been my favorite place to work so far, despite the smell of peesh. (That’s the Spanish word we use for pee.)There are a lot of things the kids from this Casa need help with. We fed, showered, dressed, walked, brushed their teeth, and did all of their hair. My afternoon shift was an off so I went into town with Nik and Magan. I love Megan. She is awesome! Nik loves himself more than anyone or anything in the world. No joke. He spent around 5 hours taking and editing selfies. He even bought a bouquet of roses to take pictures with.😐😳👎🏼 We bought souvenirs and chatos. Chatos is an Ecuadorian dessert of fruit kabob dipped in chocolate. We also tried the meringue cones, and they were not very bueno. I still love it here, and everyday it gets easier to bond with the kids and other volunteers. My Spanglish is really improving!
Tonight we made homemade empanadas. They were amazing! Don’t worry I will make them for you when I come home! Also my roommate Megan and I went running and did some other exercises and it felt good,to but it is harder to breathe with the altitude change. (It is about 8,000 feet here) I am also going to try and exercise in the morning with Logan and Heather, but they go at 5..that will be an adjustment..
Haha Hasta Luego!
