One Week

One week has gone by. Here is a list of things I've done the past few days.

1. Ate goat.
2. Sat next to a live chicken while traveling home from the airport...come to find out he ended being my dinner. :(

3. Held a snapping crab. Ate some crab.

4. Attended a family reunion, and met about sixty or more family members.

5. Saw the most beautiful scenery on a 5 1/2 hour drive from Guayaquil to Quito.

6. Ate really delicious empanadas con queso.

7. Stopped at a burger stand with Jeremy and ate a burger with a fried egg on top (E's favorite).

8. Learned a lot of new Spanish vocabulary.

9. Had my 22nd birthday. We had a nice dinner. The waiter brought me the tastiest flan I have ever had! Afterwards we went to a sketchy casino. I lost all of my money, Jeremy won 60 bucks. hmph.
10. Seriously almost got sandwhiched by two buses. And saw this truck get SO close to tipping over. It was on two of its tires for a few seconds!
11. Saw a truck transporting meat hanging off on the side.
12. Saw the 'little piggy that went to the market'.
13. Played on a basketball court with iguanas running all around. I didnt have my camera at the time, so this gignatic statue of one one will have to do.
14. Toured the city of Guayaquil and cruised around the streets of my dad's old stomping grounds.

One week down.
One more to go.
Ciao!
