June 27, 2008 (Morning)

I watched About a Boy last night until really late (9:30!) and was unable to write about my day. So yesterday my group met in the park and then together took the bus to Tabacundo. Tabacundo is another town where some other volunteers live about 20 minutes from Cayambe. There, we walked to a school and introduced ourselves to some youth in the area who seem interested in forming a youth group. Afterwards, we took the bus to Ayora. In Ayora we talked about our families (good things and bad), and then spent the afternoon discussing how to form youth groups in our sites. When the training was over I took the bus back to Cayambe.

Once I arrived back home I indulged in about 20 minutes of Internet so that I could write my parents. Afterwards, I returned home and went to the park to play baseball with the neitos. I invited another little boy who was watching us to join. It was really fun! When it became dark, I returned home and helped Mama Inés make dinner. It was balls of bananas and butter with cheese inside. Not exactly health, but good! We ate it with aji.

When dinner ended, I accompanied the family as they drove everyone home. Once that was accomplished, Marcos drove to the top of the city so I could get a good view of the city. It looked a lot like the views of Vancouver, with all the lights and the mountains.

So that was my day. Another one full of adventure! Must go to class now. I’m hoping we will watch Agua con Chocolate this afternoon! Caio!
