Sorry I didn’t write yesterday, but I was so tired that I fell right to sleep (at 8:30 to boot!). I’m beginning to suspect that these exhausting long Spanish-filled days are causing me to sleep a lot more. Thankfully, everyone here goes to bed early too so I’m not such a slug-a-bug.
So yesterday I went to Ayora for technical training. It is about a 15-20 minute bus ride. The day was really long and cold. I thought it would be as warm as Monday and I didn’t bring a heavy jacket. I paid the price. We learned a bit more common-sense stuff about safety and security, went over what CAT (community assessment tools) is, and learned a bit more about what assignments we have. It was boring and my butt ached from sitting on a hard cold bench all day.
After classes ended I returned to Cayambe and bought a towel. When I arrived back home the kids wanted to go to the park to play soccer. I went along and spent most of the time in goal with Mayra (I learned the 8-year olds name… but not how to spell it. One family member down, a lot more to go!). I was really bad at soccer; the little boys scored about a bazillion goals on us. Ah well. After the soccer game ended we returned home for dinner. I was yawning at dinner so decided not to accompany Mayra, her sister, and her mother home. Instead I went straight to bed.
Apparently, there is no school this morning and the kids are here for the day. They are very loud, but I like them. Must go to class now; no vacation for me!
