NO somos ovejas

i would not be surprised if my ecuafamilia thought i was dumb, or maybe even special. i got home today just in time for lunch and my mom asked if i was ready to eat. i said i just had to use the bathroom and then i would be, and so started walking towards the bathroom. she said, your sister is in there right now, use the other one, and pointed towards the living room.

-there's a bathroom over there???

-you didn't know there was a bathroom over there????

-um, no.

-(after some laughter) you found a new bathroom after a month here (jajajaja)

at least i didn't explode anything today.


tomorrow i'm off on a bus to visit a fine town called papallacta. these ecuatorianos pronounce their lls exactly like js. this is the town of natural hot springs and great hikes in mountains. four of us are going just for a night to return for the ELECTIONS on sunday. maybe it will be interesting, probably it will be like any other election day in the states where the excitement won't begin until the results start aflowin' on everyone's constantly-on-no-matter-what tv sets.

my professor says that it's a known fact that the new constitution will be voted for. we'll see.
