yoga mon!

Viernes! Happy friday!! Took capoeira Brazilian fight dance class again last night! Jenny and I got there at 7:30 like we had the last 2 times and this time it ended about an hour early. There was another teacher there and he took it way easy on us...we were a little bummed because we wanted to sweat a little but it was cool just to get to hang out and talk with the guys anyways. It's so fantastico to observe the way they move and have such a rhythm and art to it. They have fight-dance competitions all over Ecuador and hold class on Saturdays in the park. They were these interesting looking pants and sway side to side as their default step. After capoeira I took the bus again back to my house. The guys after class walk us up to the street (which is a very good thing there can be sketchy people out) they are all gentleman and watch out for us. One of the highschool boys takes the same bus as me so it was nice to have a guy on the bus with me. (A gringa just pulls more attention than just a normal girl here) We missed the bus because I was on the phone at the time..yeeeks! and We were saying bye to Flo and Jenny who we met on calle Larga (on of the main streets of the "night life"-a lot of bars, restaurants and cafes) So me and three of the boys waited for the next bus to come ,two of them are brothers ages 14 and 16 and their friend, we walked into the brother's mom's shop right off the main street. She has a little souvenir shop and ended up giving me a little ecuadorian pin to remember her by. People here are so humble and welcoming, she just met me and gave me her phone number, name and son's number...haha. Maybe she's just trying to find a girl for her son..or just super friendly haha.
Today i had spanish class at 8am till 10am than latin american art history from 10:30-12:30. We had a test in art than watched a movie on how the the new world and the old world mixed cultures. I walked home for lunch and made a little veggie stir fry with some curry, aji and other spices. My momma had rice and some beef already made. I put some of her sauce and meet in mine and had a little beef and broccoli stir fry it was amazingg. Reminded me of home.:) ( Tippy's food or a chinese restaurant) I rarely eat beef but when I do I know its good quality. They don't have all those hormones in their animals and the milk here is real milk too! (good but vERRRRy rich)
I went back to CEDEI -our program building for our friday dance class. Danny the teacher is extremely flamboyant and fabulous. He is a blast! Our group is big and split into two dance classes right after eachother..i love it so much I stay for both classes. Danny uses me to help teach the class a lot and I would def feel a little uncomfortable if I didn't know that he was gay..haha. When we do the "sexy dances" haha you gotta use the hips and arch the back....nuff said.
Its sooo sooo much fun! It's the best feeling too when the dance is hard and in the end you get it!! Accomplishment!! After dance class I went and met up with John to have another "life chat". He is extremely introverted and only likes to talk to people one on one. He's really interested in my faith and always wants to discuss my beliefs. I went for a little while and our friend chris came just as I was leaving. Pray that John will find truth and that he will thirst and hunger for righteousness. Chris is also searching for more. Pray that Chris will find God and hold on to his faith.
YOGA!!! After a short little chat I ran back to one of my favorite cafe's CAFE AUSTRIA and met up with Flo, Tallie and Danny-our dance instructor. We got to catch up a little before the girls and I headed back to our building for some yoga. We have two girls in our program that are amazingly yoga savy. One of which is an actual instructor and the other just has taken a millllllion classes and is basically a teacher. Kerry taught our yoga class tonight. It was sooo relaxing and perfectly appropriate for a Friday.
Tonight there is a foam party at a local dance club!! So might check that ouT!!! The clubs are only fun if all us girls go. We don't dance with the creepers from the club only if we go with friends do we dance with them.
We have our first PE-excursion class tomorrow. We are going rock climbing! And Sunday Chris set up a    zip line adventure. Its super cheep here and will be beautiful!!
