The boys have been studying and memorizing their new vocabulary words
During our break we walked to try Cevichocho, a new snack.
Here is a fruit stand with fruit that we don’t have in our US supermarkets
Also here is the beginning part of my walk to school
Once again parents and friends, this blog is not blogging like it used to. LOL! Blogger changed their app and the picture/ video upload time is excruciatingly slow, if it happens at all. I hope you all are following on IG because that upload time is very fast and I’m able to get more posted, quickly. YouTube also uploads quickly so as far as this blog is concerned I’ll be posting the YouTube video links here (because just post a link is nothing) and I ask you to please check IG for pictures. I’ll still post here everyday because I can explain I’m more detail what’s happening.
Yesterday:
We started the day in class then went to lunch together:
After lunch we took a 35¢ bus to the reptile museum in Carolina park. We couldn’t take pictures in the zoo because many of the frogs, snakes, and turtles are trafficked abroad and are highly sought after
Afterward we walked through the huge beautiful park to the mall QuiCentro where we went bowling
Here goes the boys’ favorite snack so far “huevitos chilenos”
Once we got back from bowling we learned that we were invited to a wedding party. Khylen and Isaiah’s host parents got married (in their 70s). Their mom was a widow and the dad is a divorcee. The party was fun and the students were able to put the to good use the dance moves they learn at our BEST Latin Dance workshops.
It was a great night we all went home exhausted and slept well!
Yesterday ended in a great wedding party at Khylen and Isaiah’s house. Their host parents got married early that day and we were invited to celebrate with them. Both in the 70s their mom was a widow and their host dad was divorced. They were so happy to have us and we had a blast!
These taste like non greasy funnel cakes…. But BETTER!! One bag costs $1
After class we are going to a reptile museum, then to the mall to go bowling. It’s supposed to start raining at 1pm, for the whole day ðŸ˜
Since Kevin is already bilingual his focus is biliteracy. He is reading and writing in Spanish, and he is sooo happy about that.
While at the market the boys bought a few souvenirs , we will return there as well as a much larger very famous market.
today is our first day of class. We are still waiting on 2 students. Their families are walking or driving them here and giving them brief tours and explanations so they can get familiar with their surroundings.
Hello everyone,
We had a great first day here in Quito. I’ve been trying to post here but the upload time is SLOW SLOW. Please check Instagram because the upload is much faster, and I can post short frequent updates.
@BestBoysGoGlobal
Still check here bc once I get to wifi I can be more detailed here.
Our host families. All so kind!!! I’m bent down because I’m about a foot taller than my host mom. I didn’t get a pic of Khylen and Isaiah’s mom but will later.
We are on our way to Papallacta Hot Springs!!
our flight didn’t land until after midnight so we arrived in the cover of night and couldn’t fully see the city as we were dropped off at our different host families. Now that the sun is up and we are awake we are in our what’s app chat checking in and sharing pix of our new surroundings. Here are a few for you to see as well.
Joshua’s mountain view. We are high up in the Andes Mountains, in somewhat of a bowl.
Joshua’s breakfast
My bedroom. Check out the open heart Jesus.
Isaiah’s breakfast
Kevin’s super tiny room!!
We are meeting up at 10am our time! Check us out on IG as well. My pictures upload faster there.
Our young men are all sitting together and I’m a few rows ahead of them. Ms Adams Was rebooked for tomorrow (she got held up checking her bags), and Mr Landsman will arrive on Tuesday.
Let the (REAL) adventure begin! 🥳
We are so pleased to announce that BEST Boys Go Global will begin traveling again in 2023. In just a few days we will arrive in Quito, Ecuador. Please join us in our adventures! 🥳🥳🥳
