Last night was street church and as usual it was just great. Alicia and I took a taxi into town this time and we got rearended in one of the many round-a-bouts. that was interesting, it turned out to be not a big deal. then we met up with the others in the park in the town centre and played the guitar and Isaac talked for a bit, which i mostly didn't understand. They have a really sweet tradition here on the night before Mother's Day where people will stand outside their mothers windows and serenade them. So there were trucks parked outside of houses everywhere with people singing into microphones and there was music everywhere. We drove to some of the guys houses and sang to their mothers and it was really great. we didn't end up getting back until 2.
Today was super nice to just sleep in and then go into town with Alicia. We went to the SuperTia where i bought some shoes for 3$ and then walked to the coffee place. We ended up talking for a long time and it was really great. We're sure missing Jessalyn though! We ended up running into Blass on our way back and sat in the park and talked with him for a while.
Just gearing up for another busy week. My Spanglish is pretty good...hoping it will keep turning into more Spanish than English. I wish I could hang out with my mom today! There really will be more pictures soon i promise. Oh. and random fact about Riobamba...if you hear something like an ice cream truck...it's not an ice cream truck. It's the garbage truck, warning people that they're coming and get their garbage out on the road. I get a glimmer of false hope everytime i hear it.
