Its almost 2 oclock in the morning and I am posting this blog .lol.
Anyways, Miriam( her family), Me ( my family), Ms.Sulivan(Works at the college and gives our school the college courses) and Ms. Garcia ( and her husband) meet at the Newark Airport this morning at about 7:00 am.
We got our bags checked and waited till 10:20, were we boarded to Miami.
After the comfortable three and a half hours on the plain. We boarded another plane ride , also three hours to Quito. The plane rides were filled with eating and reading magazines such as Seventeen and Essence. Want to know something funny? Our plane ride to Quito was an hour delayed because a women bought her cat on the plan. Hello!!!!!!!!!!!! Cats go with the cargo. ADUH!! Anyways, during the transition from the plane to Miami to the plane to Quito( Ecuador) , we ate at a chinese food resturant in the airport. While Miriam's fortune cookie read something about her making new friends, mine said something about finding "romance" tonight. As you can see I put emphasize on the romance.We all just laughed ,thinking about what would happen later that night regarding the cookie. So, once we landed in Quito , we had to pass through the airports so that our bags could get checked and so that we could meet our hosts. While in the airport, just by luck I had found the man my fortune cookie was talking about .lol.. This tall dark skinned Ecaudorian. He started to talk to me in Spanish in a very fast pace . The only word I understood was "bonita". Ms. Garcia translated the rest and we all just started to laugh( Them pick-up lines)...hard!Though he was not cute, the way he spoke spanish was very romantic and made me and Mariam become more eager to speak the language fluently. After that, we meet the principle of the school we will be visiting , her son and a native ecoudorian , which is our tour guide. While our new friend ( tour guide) took us to Hotel Quito, we saw the buildings and stores of Quito. Its a very busy city, somewhat like NYC. Kids stand on the street performing some kind of acts like throwing fire and jungling for some money. The Hotel has big shinney lights and is massive. None of the channles are in english except CNN!! So me and Miriam are forced to learn.lol. We are also frighten by the hotel due to it's design and size. It reminds us of the movie Hostile. Well. I have to get some sleep. Miriam is already sleeping and I bet the same for MS. G and Ms.Sulivan. And OO dont worry Miriam's mom. Miriam is safe amd smiling in every flash. Buenos noche.

Im sooo excited and can't wait to see what the rest of this week has to offer. I love Ecuador already the people are very friendly. When me and Khadijat checked into our room the first thing we turned on was the T.V. We were looking for english channels but all they had was CNN, ay dios mio.lol. When the Bell Hop(didnt speak any english) arrived with our bags we asked him in SPANISH if the T.V had any english channels or sutitles. he replied no. so i told him "Tenemos que practicar espanol". which means we have to practice spanish anyway. And he said we were pretty good. Mom don't worry i will be fine ILY.
I know my grammar isn't perfect.Keep in mind that it's 6:00 in the morning.
