Students are here, classes underway, pictures finally uploaded

Mid-way through first day of classes. True, I have only been to one but it will honestly be about a week until I think things will be set in stone with my schedule. I am working on a nice balanced schedule, but not too easy, this is my time to totally immerse myself in my studies now that I dont have all my wonderful, but distracting habits from home.

I wanted to blog today to give everyone looking at this the link to my picasa web album site because I put about 20 pictures up from the first week. They are different than the ones already up here so give them a looksy. I promise to continue posting more and more, but those are the best so far. here is the link:

enjoy and I love hearing comments from everyone, thank you for that. It is great to feel connected to home and hear from all the ones that I love up there. I keep you all with me in my travels, so know that.

More later, there is a trip my group is taking this weekend to some Hacienda (basically a huge house) next to Cotopaxi, the volcano outside of Quito. I am not sure what all is involved, but I heard something about cheese....

On the way to cotopaxi hacienda you will pass for a little town called LATACUNGA there is soooooo famus the chess but it a special chess called queso de hoja and you have to eat that with a little kind of bread called allulla if you can i can recomend you to buy arrope de mora is kind of gelatin very very sweet there is the only place that you can find this arrope you will be very happy if you try that.
