New Year holiday Hi, I was
from 25.12 to 2.1 in the holidays and would like to report in detail in this post it. But first:
Christmas was very nice here. The children in the project have been incredibly pleased with the Christmas gift-donation-kicker. At this point, once again many thanks for the many Donate! have

Christmas Eve I spent with my host family and another volunteer and the program moved to in Germany , not so dissimilar. First there was a festive dinner (turkey), in which the whole family was present. My host father gave a lot of love speech in which he and the other volunteers I was not called as guests but as family members. After dinner there was the gifts. To the show we are but then stopped going because the film which we previously wanted to see had taken longer than planned.

The next day, I went with 7 other volunteers to the coast by canoe, where we arrived on the morning of 26 arrived. There was, however, quite rainy but very warm and you could not do anything. After a day at the beach and flying kites, we went to Puerto Lopez where we were caught directly from a guide at the bus station. This showed us a great hostel for $ 8 per person per night with breakfast - a very good price. But that was not all. He made us also a 2-day tour options: On the first day Isla de la Plata (Small Galapagos) and the next day to the most beautiful beach in Ecuador "Los Frailes" and to the thermal springs in "Agua Blanca". We accepted the offer and have not looked back.
On the island there were unusual birds (with blue feet) and we snorkeled for about 1 hour. That was also the highlight after I had first overcome the fear of the resident hammerheads. Los Frailes turned out to be a dream beach, with blue 25 degree warm water and completely clean. You could also walk to a lookout point and shoot great photos of pelicans flying by. In Agua Blanca, we have then in the sulfur smelling water fall and also made a Schlammpealing with us: D.
went to this activity-filled days I was then separated from the group and went to Atacames (another coastal town) to celebrate New Year with a few other volunteers. There I was first surprised by the fact that there was in the region because of a broken pump station no more water. But the more reason for joy and we had been lucky to have a pool near the swim, we were able to be clean and after 2 days then the water came again.
New Year's Eve we were at the beach, was burned out at 0:00 clock throughout the year in the form of old dolls. To luck next year to have had to jump 3 times by the fire.
also been tested on the evening my samba skills, I was persuaded to take part in a dance competition, where was the applause of the audience voted the winner. Of course I had no chance against the five Ecuadorians against which I took, but the amount found my pathetic attempts to mimic the incredible movements, at least, so entertaining that they applauded me as the winner. I have never seen anyone dance before Samba see us have to say that I'm really impressed! A total of more difficult but also very cool dance.
then ended with the holidays, and after a last quiet day at the beach we returned to Quito back.
