LAS Fieldtrip

So its been about two weeks since I've written, but dont worry, I have a good reason, its because we are really short on volunteers and I haven't had much time to do much else, so yeah, here I am now.  Also, I dont know when the next time I will be able to post is, because, when I do my blog is when my roommates are at night shift and since we are cutting those this week, due to the lack of volunteers, they will all be home so, yeah, it just depends on when they are willing to let me use their computers, Im just warning you. 

So this last Friday, we got to take some of the older kids at LAS on a field trip and we went to a park called La Carolina. And guess what we did? Paddleboating. Be Jealous.  It was way too much fun, let me just tell you.  There were two volunteers in a boat and then two kids, and they sat on our laps and let me tell you, we got a leg workout...But it was so worth it, although I know the kids enjoyed it, I think they enjoyed the candy that we were giving them more.  After we paddleboated we fed them lunch, which consisted of pan (bread), yogurt, crackers, and whatever else we brought for them. We each were in charge of a different kid and I had Jorge, and he ate almost all of my candy, which was ok with me, because he treated me like his best friend :-) It was awesome. We only got to hang out with them for a couple of hours, but it made them so happy, so it was definitely worth it.

In other news, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, comes out Friday!  Im so excited! And the other good news is that the new Josh Groban CD is now available, and it is awesome, as expected.  Oh man, life is awesome isnt it?  Miss you and love you!

Ecuador and the Jonas Brothers

Yes.  I have seen The Jonas Brothers.  THEY WERE AWESOME!  There were so many people there too.  We were so amazed that that many Ecuadorians like The Jonas Brothers.  They even would sing along in ENGLISH.  We had so much fun.  We made shirts that said We Love Jonas Bros with a sweet techniques that I learned from my sister.  We jumped around and sang all night long and people kept staring at us but as my friend likes to say, "Were white, we can get away with anything."  So it was ok that we looked white because were gringas.  Since we paid $35 bucks for our tickets and not $100, we had to stand on the ground in the back, so we didn't get great pics, but since I have a super sweet camera I had a great zoom and I was able to take multiple shots at once (Thank you Dad for always finding the best electronics before letting us spend our money on them, or your money for that matter).  So in the end I did get some pretty sweet pics.  Basically we had an unforgettable night :)

Last Friday we went to Teleferiqo, which is basically just a place you can ride gondolas up a huge mountain and see the view of the city from way up high and it was breathtaking, literally.  When we got up there and had to hike some more and all of us were about dying by the time we finished especially being in 9,200 feet altitude.  Talk about ridiculous. Man. It was worth it though.  Take a look.

So until next time...Chao!  I miss you all so very much but I am having the time of my life.  Love you!
