Hola from South America!!
I arrived on schedule in Quito last night and after some help from a very nice gentleman in the airport, a few phone calls to my spanish school coordinator, and waiting about 20 minutes, someone from the school came to pick me up. It was raining and the city was fast asleep.
I was dropped off with the family I will spend time with for the next 1 to 2 months. I couldn´t have asked for a more hospitable and generous familia. Last night I went straight to bed; but this morning I had a delicious breakfast of freshly sliced fruit, bread, jugo de pinapple, and tea con mi madre. I was able to practice spanish, and then mi padre drew me a detailed map of the route to my school tomorrow and walked into the city center with me. The rest of the day is for exploring...
So far, everyone has been very generous and the quiteños seem to be great people. I start school tomorrow and am excited to increase my spanish knowledge. I will post pictures in the future, because believe it or not I haven´t taken any yet.
Hasta Luego!

ReplyDeleteEverything from your homestay, to your breakfast, to the hospitality of the locals, and the language school sound exactly like my experience in Costa Rica! I'm sure it's different, but reading about it makes me miss mi Costa Rican familia!
