Today was my first day going to the school
And seeing the whole group of people that are studying here. It's groups of students of all of America and Europe. We took a test and had an oral interview and I was put in intermediate 2. After the school Manuel picked me up and we toured all around the city. I saw el centro y el catedral. Everything is old and made of stone and hand chiseled. It's beautiful! Its awesome hanging out with Manuel because he doesn't speak any english so I'm forced to speak so much spanish. Later at night I was going to meet our huge group for a tour but I walked over with my host family an we were late and missed it. They said in Spain its normal to be about 15 min late. I guess Ecuas aren't the only ones! At 8 I met up with Suzanne and Danielle and the rest of the group at a Sideria. This is a bar where they serve the typical drink called Sidra. It was funny because all is Americans were trying to pour the drink into the cup and couldn't do it from such a far distance. When I tried I poured straight on the floor haha! After some how my directionally challenged self found my way home!
