The First Week of School is Over!

It is finally Friday and the first week of school at Americano is over! My new students seem pretty nice and I have nothing exciting to report about work. This past week I have gone back to Yoga and to the gym after 7 short and wonderful weeks of vacation! Josh and I are planning our next trip out of Quito to Banos in a week and I am super excited because I hear Banos is a wonderful place to visit. This weekend is Fiestas de Guapulo, which is a crazy fiesta, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. There will be plenty of fireworks in close range and I have to get a mask to wear and make up a dance for the fireworks display they put in the middle of the crowd. Totally amazing! Furthermore, the strays dogs are doing well. We have three (not in the house, they live in the street, their names are Rodrigo, Negrito, y Fluffy. Rodrigo is the baby of Fluffy and I think Negrito may be related- not sure. Rodrigo was originally named Bag o' Bones- but he seems to have gained weight......... Tomorrow is the Organic Market at Shakti ( Yoga studio) where I can buy homemade brie and goat cheese! Que rico.......... Sunday I am going to do a hike with my mycologist/educator friend and I am really excited. Nothing really is going on here......... I am just happy that it is Friday!
