Buenos Tardes! Just a quick update again... On Monday I´m leaving on a tech-trip with everyone in the natural resources group that will be living on the coast. I´m so excited about the opportnity to explore a little more of Ecuador such as the northern coast, but sad about leaving my host family and all of the other volunteers. The coastal area feels like an entirly country from the Sierra region. This past week we´ve had some free time because of Holy Week (which is a much bigger deal here than at home). Today I went on a hike with my host family to a series of 9 waterfalls in which I was literaly pulling myself up with vines. Yesterday I went on a 6 hour hike with some of my peace corps friends to a stone arch formation hiden very far up a mountain....and the day before that I played a 2.5 hour soccer game with peace corps volunteers. My legs feel like jello, especially considering that I really havn´t worked out since arriving here. I feel like I´ve hit a bit of a language barrier since language classes have stopped, which is frustrating but I´m sure I´ll learn a lot more once I´m actually at my site and NO ONE speaks English!! AH!
I miss everyone and hope you´re all doing well!
