Hola desde Ecuador!

I got into Quito last night around 11. My host mom Matele met me at the airport and brought me home.

My house is beautiful. There is a huge palm tree in the front yard. There are only two of us living in the house but she has lots of family who lives close. Another exchange student named Melissa is living with Matele's sister so I have a host cousin. I am actually sitting in her room right now using her family's wireless. At my house we also have a dog named Tafi and Melissa's house has a cat.

Today we took the bus to the school. It is absolutely gorgeous. It looks like a spa. Pictures will follow.

I just finished almuerzo (lunch) with the whole family. Melissa and I sat there and tried to follow the conversations that were going on. It was fun and we ate great food. I will definitely not be going hungry.

Tomorrow I have orientation at the school which starts at 8am (blah).

So far I am absolutely loving it.

I will write more latter when more has happened.
