Women's Exercise classes are up in running in the new space, although attendance leaves something to be desired. I think that the craziness of school starting is partly to blame, not to mention the fact that it takes awhile for Ecuadorians to get used to foreigners (and realize that we all don't have swine flu). In the meantime, I'll be patient and perfect my routines with our one regular, Susana.
This week several of us have been spending the mornings at Aliñambi, a school/orphanage, taking growth measurements of kids. We are measuring arm and trunk circumference, weight, and height, and we ask questions about their eating habits. From the information we gather, we hope to implement some sort of nutrition program for the community and school. This is very preliminary, but incredibly exciting nonetheless.
Lastly, Adult English classes have started this week. We are holding classes every Monday and Wednesday from 5:00-7:00pm (I'm only teaching on Wednesday, because I have an exercise class on Monday). Chet and I are teaching on Wednesday; Chet and Krysta are the teachers for the Monday class. We have enjoyed lesson planning thus far and look forward to how our class pans out.
This past weekend, us girls went into Quito for the day and had a blast at the Basilica. Check out pictures below!

Is it just me, or are the colors brighter here?
