This week, I really didn´t do anything besides homework. Yesterday I went shopping in the Mariscal District and bought a poncho and a nice sweater, both made of alpaca wool. I am always cold here because they don´t have heat. Plus, I was able to bargain the poncho and sweater down to $10. On Tuesday the KSC kids and I went to Quicentro, which is a local mall. I don´t know how people can afford to dress as nice as they do here, a pair of jeans averaged $40 at this mall. But we had fun walking around and at least looking in the stores. After, we went to Megamaxi, which is just like a WalMart. Today, my two other classmates and I took a field trip with our profesora to a museum, which was filled with cultural artifacts of Ecuador, all of which were made by hand. It was really neat to see artifacts from all the different provinces and areas of Ecuador.
As for this weekend, I don´t entirely know what I am doing yet. I do know that I have Monday and Tuesday off for Carnaval. I know that on Sunday my sister Julia and her husband are taking me to Panecillo, which has the statue of the Virgen of Quito. We are going to go at night because according to my mother, that is the best time to go because you get to see all of Quito lit up. We are also going to look at the churches in Old Quito, because they are decked in gold, but they close at 6 so we need to go there first. I know they mentioned going to the beach on Monday, but I don´t know if we are actually doing that or not. ¡Chao for now!
