DISCLAIMER

My father just wrote me an email, basically stating that I need to be careful at what I write because not everyone will understand my sense of humor.

He had in mind ecuadorian officials, future employers, and possibly Jesus as well...

So, to any who are reading this in order to find out more information about me who do not know me: I HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR. I AM VERY SARCASTIC. I ENJOY MAKING FUN OF EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE.

Thanks dad...

In other news, I have moved in with my host family in Quito, and again I have been blessed with an incredible house and family. Father and mother, 3 kids, one of whom is married and has a kid, all of whom live in the house, as well as a cousin who is going to school here. The family has a great sense of humor, loves to laugh and cook and make fun of everyone, and one of their sons has literally over 500 movies here....basically I´m in heaven. I´m living here with two other volunteers, Jon who´s going to Machala with me, and Craig, an ex-lawyer from Atlanta, both of whom I get along with. I´m currently sleeping in one of the rooms on the top floor, with a gigantic window through which I can see the whole city of Quito on the mountain. The views here are absolutely amazing, and due to the extreme altitude, I don´t think I´m that off in calling them breathtaking.

We played soccer today with my host father and brother (20) today, and a couple other worldteach volunteers who were at the picnic that Worldteach had for all of us. It was a lot of fun, but being out of shape in the states is made even worse when the air has about half the amount of oxygen in it. Then, as a sidethought, we all took a trip to the equator. Thats right, the middle of the earth. ¨Ho, hum, lets go see something thats going to blow your mind." It was awesome, beautiful, and allowed me to get my first experience on the buses, which werent bad at all.

I made this quick because I´m on a computer in my host family´s house and I think we may be doing something soon. I´ll go more into detail soon, but thank you for the emails that you´ve sent so far, and I´ll be sure to begin responding to them as soon as I can. This is probably going to get more preference, because I want to write as much as I can down before I forget it all, but I will get to personal emails, I promise.

Te vayas bien
