Hi, I write today from the house of my host family!
This is very nice and cordial. Except my host parents still live here a 21-year-old host sister and the 27-year-old host brother and another volunteer from Germany.
The food is really delicious, almost always there as a side dish rice and then chicken (from our own production!), Peas and delicious fruit juices from fruits of which I knew not at all so far.
I was looking at Google Maps and found our house. Here is the link. It's the house at the bottom right corner of the park, we recognize the can.
weekend we have with our host father, host sister and two cousins on a trip to Mitad del mundo "made. The "Middle of the World" is exactly on the equator at 0-th degree of latitude. There we were then able to participate in various "experiments" that prove that we were actually on the equator. For example, it is much easier to add make an egg upright, because it is held by the forces of northern and southern hemisphere in equilibrium). Then we have visited the crater of an extinct volcano and eat an ice cream on the way back.
Also I have made really cool photos of a hummingbird and we have the ride on the back of the pick-up loading surface enjoyed.
has now begun English classes and it's always nice to meet the other volunteers there. Tomorrow we take a trip to the "Centro Historico" (= Old Town) and at the weekend in an indigenous village of Otavalo, where there is a traditional art market. Otherwise, it is envisaged that soon we will start a salsa course, or if we know the working hours in our projects.
The weather here is wonderful, but subject to large temperature fluctuations (as well as when climbing a mountain in the Alps). When the sun shines it is very pleasant and you walk around in T-shirt, but if you go there by bus to the other end of town can it be that where the wind blows and it still freezes even in a sweater. But mostly it's warm during the day to about 20 degrees and it will remain so throughout the year.
On Friday, my host father birthday and we (the other volunteer Valerie and I) want to bake a chocolate cake for him. Let's see if we succeed in doing this. The report will
I on the weekend.
then!
