¡Sí se puede!

It's currently halftime in the Ecuador vs. Costa Rica World Cup game, and Ecuador is up 1-0. Kamala, Alex, Eric and I have been here since Monday night, and have been getting acquainted with Quito, helping the tutors, and planning for the clinic, the market, and the library.

This picture is from our first day at the tutoring site. We had our 10 volunteers, 30 students, and a variety of dogs, cows, pigs, and roosters. We were also greeted by a hail storm worthy of the ten plagues and the ensuing mud rivers that took over the mountainous roads.

(¡Gooooooooooooooooooooool! Ecuador is now winning 2-0.)

Yesterday, Ximena gave us a tour of el Centro Historico before tutoring. Today, after the game, five of us are going for a run in the park right by the Oñas' house, and then we're going to see the clinic site for the first time. Tonight, the 10 volunteers are all going out to the local karaoke bar, which seems to be a ubiquitous feature throughout Quito. Tomorrow night: Gringolandia, the touristy section of Quito, for some late-night dancing.
