green grass for the first time in 3 months!

I complain about school a lot. I’ve started keeping track of how many days I go to school, and I realized that I should NOT be complaining. In October, I went to school 5 days. November- 9 days. December- 2 so far (but I’m going tomorrow too, so almost 3). So I think I should stop complaining. 

Usually in the mornings, it is cloudy, and the clouds stay until at least 9 or 10, which keeps it a bit cooler. Today, it was sunny from 6 a.m. on. Which made for a VERY hot day at school. I almost melted.

Today I went to the Botanical Gardens in Portoviejo with a couple of friends! Which was refreshing. Portoviejo is hot, dusty, and super dry right now. There’s pretty much nothing alive in the city. And you can feel your lungs slowly dying as they inhale more and more dust and car fumes. Quite nice. Anyway, the Botanical Gardens are niiiiiiiiiice. They have green grass, which was a lot more exciting than it should have been. And lots of plants and trees and flowers and animals too! And about a million and a half iguanas, which I think are hilarious. I find it SO FUNNY to walk up to a bush or something where an iguana is hiding, and see it run out, lifting it’s legs as high as it can, and run up a tree, or into the pond. There were also other strange rainforest animals living there. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!
