August 24, 2008

Today all the trainees had a big thank-you part for all our Ecua-families. It was a lot of fun. We ate a lot of food and played games with the kids. A lot of my family came, so I was really happy. I am totally going to miss them… but that doesn’t mean I’m not ready to leave!

In the afternoon, Lauren and I went on a run in an effort to exercise off some of the fat that we consumed at the party. I really need to make sure my future host family understands that I will be cooking for myself. Plates piled high with veggies—here I come! Around dinner time I started to feel pretty ill. I’ve eaten way too much fried pig in the past two days. My family kept thinking up all these weird reasons why I felt queasy. I didn’t have the heart to tell them that I am not used to their fried food. No sense in complaining, though. I only have one day left!!
