When it rains, it pours...

So I´ve been here for about a week and a half and it´s amazing. The people here are so kind and friendly, and the city is perfect. The classes here are only in the morning and evening, so I started class Wednesday night. I only have one monday through thursday and then a four hour class on fridays. My internship starts monday from 8-12.
Alex moved in Monday night, she live upstairs from me and actually she´s good friends with Kellie Duggan!! It´s a small world isn´t it? My first Spanish class was awesome, my teacher´s funny and really good. When it was time to go home I got on the wrong bus home, and a girl that I didn´t know from my school said she´d just have her boyfriend drive me home from the opposite side of the city. I told her no, but she called him and he was at work. So I took the bus back to school and me and alex got on another wrong bus, but one of the girls on that one call her boyfriend and he drove us in the POURING rain... It was raining so much my street was flooded at the bottom of the hill probably up to my waist. They were sooo nice. They invited us to his beach house in Playas for some weekend. The people here are just so genuine, it´s great. I mean don´t get me wrong, there are some crazy´s and not good people. But for the most part everyone rocks.
The past few nights the International club has brought us out to go dancing, or just to a bar. They´re a really good group of people and they know how to have fun. I don´t have picture on this computer but check out my facebook album for some pictures of my friends and I.

Last night was Sebastian´s birthday so we had a party at his house. It´s cool how house parties here are more for everyone. You invite the oldest and the youngest. Usually only the college kids last all night, but it´s cool how everyone´s just comfortable with family.
Also ´when i talk to different students here they all say they love Guayaquil. It´s so surprising to me that everyone loves the place they grew up here, when in the states everyone wants out of their home, or town.
Just a couple of things... I hope everyone is well!!

Your schedule sounds great, though I guess it will probably get busier when you start your internship. I've been thinking of you lot lately and when I get a chance I'll send you an email

We all miss you so much here in Plass 513... We were watching something on YouTube last night and the little Lego people kept going: "Bother! Bother! Bother! Bother!", and it made us all smile and laugh because it reminded us of YOU, my dearest! :o)
