Hi!
Now I finally find the time to post about news. The penultimate weekend is progressing according to plan, I have seen my old host family again, and was a volunteer on the Teleferiqo (except for the Pichincha high we are not). Unfortunately, the drive to Tumbaco to my host family took me five hours. The center of Quito, it takes about 4 hours out of Ambato. Unfortunately, are just pretty isolated here on the farm. Otherwise, it was unfortunately
fish soup, to celebrate my return and I could not warm shower, because the gas was all. But otherwise it was nice to be back and see the other volunteers again in Quito.
Last weekend we were in Playas, a village near the city of Guayaquil, located 5 minutes from the beach. Our accommodation was surrounded by palm trees and the weather was great. It was a meeting with all volunteers, working in a street children project of Salesianos in Ecuador. There are 5 different projects: in Ambato, Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca and Esmeraldas. National volunteers are here exclusively male. Some of them want to go even a Padre (Father) will. So it came about that except me only two female volunteers were there.
went on Friday to go to Quito to 14h, then in the street children project of Salesianos. We had dinner together and are then drove the pickup to the bus station, from there then from there to Guayaquil and from there went to Playas. From here to Quito is 4 hour drive from there to Guayaquil another eight hours from Guayaquil to Playas nocheimal two hours.
We have therefore spent the whole night in the coach. On Saturday there was some information about the work with the children, Don Bosco, and much more. I unfortunately could not always understand everything completely, because the program was entirely in English. It was also a lot of singing and movies looked. At noon we were on the beach, have played various games and swimming in the Pacific. The cafe was no exception, even sometimes rice with chicken (there are in the project for lunch and dinner and sometimes even for breakfast!), but rice with seafood. That was a nice change. On Sunday it was
then, several other topics about which has been discussed, a fair and we were briefly on the beach.
afternoon we went to Guayaquil and took part in a guided tour and visited the project there. I've heard only bad about Guayaquil, because it will be very dangerous and very dirty, nice is not easy. To me it made a positive impression, but I have seen the city even in the dark. In the evening we went from there directly back to Ambato and have the big detour Quito saved, so it took us only 6 hours.
Now I'm a little tired because I spent two nights in the bus and had to get up again today as usual.
photos coming in the next few days if I find the time to upload them:)
