Another uneventful weekend/week gone by, but I definitely got some much-needed R & R! The majority of the time, I just chilled around the apartment, napped, worked on homework or got bread from la panadería across the street (to break from bouts of boredom). On Saturday, Julie and I did a little more exploring around the historical district, where we toured two churches and then took the trolleybus to a park nearby to view some art and check out the Saturday market there. Monday consisted of laundry, memorization of some 200 Spanish phrases and my first Salsa dancing lesson with my host-sister Paola (Pao)! I love Salsa! Pao is a great teacher and she also burned me a mix of songs so I can practice in my room. Yesterday and today have been pretty stressful because I have two midterms tomorrow and a few more next week as well. Thankfully, there’s no school on Friday because it’s Guayaquil day; so Julie and I (and possibly our other friend Quena) are heading down to Guayaquil for a little sun, and to join in on the festivities! I’m sure that’ll make for a more interesting post next week. For now, I’m off to study and later I have my second Salsa lesson with Pao. ¡Que pasa bien!
