We have been away from home for a week now. Time sure flies by fast while you're learning a new language and culture! This is my first time experiencing the city life. I love that we can walk to most places that interest us. If we can't walk, a mere dollar will take both Alicia and I to where we want to be and back. I can't wait to venture out to the mountains and look down at the city of Quito.
Today was our second day of work in the market with the kiddos. We went to the Chillogallo market. Alicia was right, they are precious and so innocent. Even with me not knowing much Spanish I have found that just a few words can make a child's day. The kiddos kept asking me to spin them, so I did. After awhile I had to say "no más" because I was getting dizzy. We played soccer, puzzles, drew pictures, sang songs and danced. Today's setup was in the parking lot of two buildings. We had enough room to play, but many of the cars were hit by flying soccer balls. No one seemed to mind much, so it must be the norm.
Below is a photo of Alicia this morning at the market taken by the VCE staff.
