There are also lunch usually a soup with vegetables, chicken, rice and fish (almost swallowed whole!), And I've still not quite understand it, as I half a chicken with a Plastikloeffel or a felt whole fish with lots of bones with a spoon to eat a soup.
The portions are more than adequate. Also, eating out and a menu (soup, main course, Dessert (usually fruit) and juice) costs only about 2 U.S. $ is so pretty cheap!
After English class, I was eating so often something together with the other volunteers. I also participated, along with some volunteers at a salsa class. That was zirmlich funny! Now the English course completed and on Monday I'm going to Ambato and then finally start the project. I'm looking forward total, the project finally starts. On the other hand, I think it's also a little sad that I will be so far away from the other volunteers, because most are working on a project in and around Quito. Also, I'm not free on the weekends, but instead on Monday and Tuesday. This means that I usually can not meet on weekends with other volunteers. If I'm would like to have weekends free, I have two weeks to register in advance, so then enough care for the children at the weekend are there. Nevertheless, I believe
that the weekends are great, because then will be only the volunteers and the internal children there. The other members of the project are then free. This means that the weekends are also very important to build up a good relationship with the children. On weekends, we are then cook something in the food supply remains the week and take Sunday trips.
addition I have the mornings free, if the children in the School. Because I want to come back then maybe a salsa course, but possibly one in which you are not dancing in a circle and in pairs. Or I would like to continue to attend a English course to quickly learn English and to be able to write well. At the end of the year I would like to be in stock attend a language test.
On my days off I would like to then travel a little or go to Quito (I even get 10 $ / month, a trip money!). I will work in the project, in which one of all projects to work here in Ecuador by my organization (VASE-Voluntariado Para la Ayuda Social del Ecuador) most needs, but I'll also noticed a lot of rural Lebner outside Quito.
Tomorrow all volunteers organize together an Ecuadorian picnic, each will bring something typical Ecuadorian meal. I live with two other volunteers (one from Germany and one from Miami) along with a host family and we have considered an Ensalada de Fruta (fruit / fruit salad) brought along.
On Saturday we will then move together to the center of the world. We also have been bought in Otavalo, an indigenous market, where I lost a bag, a scarf and a small Portmonaise (usually costs 25-35 cents) for the small change for bus travel.
We were driving on a totally clear crater lake in a breathtaking landscape with a huge boat and Waterfall. It was all quite impressive, and the nature here is beautiful anyway total. Quito also I like it. There are many palm trees, parks and green spaces. The infrastructure is quite good. There are many buses, the traffic is quite caotisch here and I would never take your car!
Ansonstenh we were already in Santander Mariskal celebrate (a popular Gringoviertel).
So, as you see it I feel very good here and it will not be bored.
Today I am free and so at last came to here from the most important things to report.
I hope you are all well and I'm always happy about mails, they can read in between, but the time does not always concerned a direct response and Internet connections are often poor. DC I get the other two volunteers from my host family here from the Internet cafe and we drive to the neighboring village and meet us there or with other volunteers. A volunteer from Switzerland, is a trained hairdresser and some now want to get cut from her hair. Kind regards to Germany!
