things going on

So, here’s an update on what’s coming up.

Monday I leave for the AMAZON RAINFOREST! We’re leaving at 10pm in bus, which means we’ll arrive in Quito around 6 am, and then we will take a plane, and then a CANOE to the place we’re staying. I’m pretty excited about that. Unfortunately, the trip’s pretty short- we go back to Quito in the morning of Saturday the 13, and then I assume that we’ll be heading back to Portoviejo right after that.

Carnaval, the holiday that everyone has been talking about since I got here starts on the 14^th, and lasts until the 17^th. The current plan is to go to the beach with my family, but I’m not sure if that will happen if my host dad is still sick. Hopefully we’ll still be able to go.

I think that after Carnaval, I will be changing families. I really like my current family, so I’m not really excited about it, but my next family seems really nice as well so I’m not not-looking forward to it either.

THEN, my mother is coming! She’s coming on the 24^th of February, and staying for a couple of weeks.

So, I will have a busy next month or so. Which hasn’t happened in a while, so I’m pretty excited.

I’ll let you all know how everything goes!
