Goooool!

The morning was blah.  I only looked forward to the school activity that was setup for the afternoon.  Brian paid for Yonseili and my lunch at the place that doesn't have a name, only a sign that says "Almuerzos a $2.50."

In the evening I had dinner and then I learned how to play "Cuarenta" which is the Ecuadorian card game that is played often especially during holidays/festivals.  My host father was teaching me and my host mom.  We had to imagine there was a fourth player because we needed one.  The imaginary friend's name was Manuel.

Highlight of the Day:  We signed up to play soccer, Students vs. Professors.  Although the professors weren't really professors because they were two faculty members who run errands at the school, we had a lot of fun.  There were about 15 players in total.  Among the players were Yonseili, Chen, Brian who was very good by the way, two Australian girls, Julius from Germany, Vincent from Belgium, and a random guy from the park we asked to play who was wearing a Messi shirt (football player).  I had a lot of fun.  My team won, like 13-9 or something and out of those I scored maybe 2.  The weather was perfect because it was cloudy and breezy.  Yonseili and I wore our cool striped pants that we got at the market.
