Wow! Thanks for all the bed bug suggestions... The matress in out in the sun today so we will see how that works out. I actually like Steph´s suggestion best which is to get rid of all my things and ask mom and dad for money and stay in a hotel from here on out... what do you say, mom?
I just got an email confirming that I officially have a position with the Peace Corps Ecuador newspaper, El Clima. Every 3 or 4 months, we come out with a new edition full of entertaining and mostly mindless material which gets sent out to all the volunteers. Perks to the job include a paid 3 day trip to Quito a few times a year (the first of which is in 3 weeks). Ecuador PCV´s can rest assured that with Kelly on the job, El Clima just got a little bit better.
This sunday I am participating in my first official run. It´s an 8k race from the center of Cuenca to Sayausi where my nearest Volunteer pals, Mike and Mary live. Hey, making it to the end means a new t-shirt for me so I´m in! Ill be sure to post pictures in my next update.
Sr. Pat... I got a slip in my mailbox saying I have a package to pick up but its only open mon, wed, fri between 10 and 12 so thats on tomorrows list! how exciting! thanks in advance!
Danielle... you are absolutely right about molestar meaning to bother/annoy! another one to watch out for is when trying to say you are embarassed DO NOT use "embarazada" or you will be telling people you are pregnant!
I guess thats all the news I have for you guys from down here today... miss you!
Hope the sun takes care of the bed bugs!
