safe and sound!!!

I have been in Ecuador for about 24 hours now...and it's fabulous! Today we got to see the city and walk along this boardwalk thing that runs along this inlet of the ocean!! It totally feels like the tropics here, us "estadounidenses" (people from the US) can't handle it, haha :) Our project team is amazing and I feel really close to everyone already! There are 14 of us total, and today we got to meet some people who are going to help us at the campuses! We have really nice hotel rooms with 4 girls each :) my roommates are totally sweet and even though we have our own beds, we decided to push them all together to make a "family bed " :) we're still getting used to not being able to brush our teeth with the water or flush our toilet paper, but we're learning!! I'm still not quite in Spanish language mode yet, but I'm getting there :) tonight we're going to a soccer game which is supposed to be really crazy because there is a huge rivalry!! Besos, Ann xo
