Arroz y aguacate

Its been a fairly uneventful week so far. Today after school Sarah and I found a really nice chocolate store behind the school (bad news) as well as a really nice restaurant a cheap pizza place and we bought some movies! I got the first season of Glee as I have had many people telling me I needed to watch it. Tomorrow is a regular school day and tomorrow night we are all going to a Beatles themed bar, "Strawberry Fields". That should be fun! Thursday morning we leave for our week long travel to Riobamba. I had a not so good bus experience this afternoon- while walking to my second bus a group of guys whistled and yelled (which is not not normal for any day for any girl but specifically girls with blonde hair) and i ignored them as usual and got on my bus, well they came too and sat next to me! They tried talking to me for a minute but I continued to ignore them and decided to get off at the next stop. When the next bus arrived it was so full that I couldnt get on and finally when I did get on a bus, it was so crowded that I couldnt get off at my stop! Good news was that I walked a different way home and saw a cute part of my neighborhood and a quaint restaurant on my street that I had never noticed before. So although that was a little frustrating, it turned out ok. Im debating buying a tobogan to wear during my commute... met a girl from Germany today on the train who was here doing volunteer work for 10 weeks! She had been all over Ecuador and said Quito was her least favorite... great! But that really just got me excited for our trip to Riobamba which is smaller, less busy and more safe. As for the title, Arroz y aguacate (Rice and avacado) This is literally almost all that i eat on a daily basis. Except for my pbj sandwich i pack for lunch plus a granola bar and sometimes they'll throw in some tomatoes or potatoes. Its simple but it gets the job done. Signing off for now. Adios!
