"Es que yo necesito cafe..." - Yonseili

I went to sleep at 1:30am last night and woke up at 7:50am.  I seriously need to go to sleep early and stop doing this to myself!!!

The walk to school was good because it was cloudy and fresh.  Our teacher for the week (in Spanish) is Raquel.  Raquel is very nice and taught us a lot today AND, after Yonseili said she needed coffee, she took us to Cyrano.  It is a nearby coffee place  where we were all able to get coffee, hot chocolate and/or bread to WAKE THE F UP.  Sorry, don’t mean to offend anyone, but that’s how brain dead we all were that morning.  Even Raquel noticed how alive we were right after that.

After school the trio went to get lunch at some place for $2.75 and had the usual soup and then white rice with chicken and salad.  For desert they gave us a colorful marshmallow.  Yonseili and I had to stop at the DELTA Airlines office so that we could get our money back for the clothes we had to buy since our luggage was delayed.  They told us to go back Wednesday.  BTW, Delta Airlines employees in Quito, Ecuador need to learn how to smile!

On our way back home we were all hungry again, but since Yonseili had to get her digital camera fixed, Brian and I went to El Rancho de Juancho and I will say it was good.  The guacamole needed a little more salt we agreed, but overall I give it a 9 out of 10.  Brian then came with me to my house so that he can check his emails, "catch up with humans," and also to see if my host mom could lend him some scissors so that he could trim his beard.  He later text me saying it took him about an hour to do.  The dude's beard has grown a lot since he's been here.  If you look at his pics from like the second week and compare them to him now, he looks way older now.

Highlight of the day:  My Spanish class was lots of fun.  We had good laughs.  We talked about a lot including the letters "j" and "g," as in we need to know which to use when.  Well when Raquel wrote Jorge on the board, Yonseili said that she didn't like that "J" and Raquel thought Yonseili meant that she literally wrote the letter ugly.  I cracked up when Raquel erased it and tried to make it prettier and Yonseili didn't notice until I told her.  Yonseili laughed and clarified to Raquel that she didn't like having to figure out which is supposed to be used, the "j" or the "g."  The two hours flew by.  Plus, we went to the coffee shop to get energized only because Yonseili mentioned she needed coffee.  I was so happy she did.
