My first 12 hours...

So I got to Ecuador early today. Estoy muy cansada y estresada. But I´m good. My second flight from Houston got delayed because of luggage, so I arrived late to Guayaquil. I met some very nice people on the plane though!! When I arrived I was picked up by my host and her grandaughter, who´s about 21. They brought me home in a cab. The city is sooo beautiful. colorful, nice buildings and houses. Old school nothing crazy. But everything has a fence. The drivers are crazy, they don´t use the lanes and just go... Like in NJ. I have my own room and it´s huge with my own bathroom. It´s kinda nicer than padua.
Carolyn, my host, made me breakfast that I´ve never had anything of but the fruit and it was great. My host´s daughter took me out into the city to run some errands with her, everyone´s very nice. I haven´t met anyone in the city that speaks any english though, so I´m kinda having a hard time. She took me to an internet cafe. and that´s my last 12 hours in Ecuador.
I hope everyone´s good!!!

Glad to hear you got there safe and that you're enjoying the city so far. Being immersed there, I'm sure you'll pick up the language in no time.
