We are just grinding away in Spanish classes. We are in class for 4 hours in the morning and then spend much of the rest of the day trying to memorize all the material that gets thrown at us in class. The family that we are living with is very nice and has two children -- a girl and boy. Children are definitely good for learning a language since they never get tired on repreating words. This weekend, we will be heading to some of the mountains surrounding Otavallo and should have some good pics to post. To the right is the family we are living with -- Edwin, Pillar, Jorge, and Mabel.
