today we switched hostels and are now in Quito Moderno, in the safer and more tourist area. there are lots of hostels, restaurants, bars and cafes. We had our first private spanish lessons at the Guayasamin Spanish School. There are activities each day for the students - today we had a salsa dance lesson! So much fun! The people here are so nice and friendly!
Tonight we went for dinner in the main plaza for some traditional Ecuadorian food. it was amazing! some shrimp ceviche, potato and cheese soup and a plantain-peanut shrimp stew. We are trying to convince the restaurant to open in Toronto!
Tomorrow we are walking around the old city (Quito Colonial) and then have our Spanish classes in the afternoon. We're getting used to life here - it's pretty fun so far!
There are lots of things we are looking forward to doing around Quito and Ecuador in between spanish classes or on weekends. There are volcanoes to hike, national parks, beaches, jungle etc.
hope everyone had a good day at work! ;)
