Field trip #2

Hello everyone! Today was another busy day for us. The students started with their daily basketball game before school started. We went to mass and adoration in the morning. It was a beautiful church!! After that we talked about our nights. The students played soccer at recess and we did some homework. We worked out a few kinks in our cultural show and now it looks wonderful! The students had lunch and recess where they played soccer... SHOCKER! After that, they had gym where they played MORE soccer. It was fun to watch! The American team vs. the two different Ecuadorian teams. I'm pretty sure we won! After the students cooled down we went to the 6th grade and talked about ourselves and Halloween. This evening we walked up 444 steps to the lighthouse on the hill where Guayaquil was founded. It was exhausting, but so worth it once we got to the top! After walking back down, we went on the Ferris wheel to see the city. Tomorrow will be another fun day and this weekend will be a blast. Tomorrow, many families are headed to the beach. On Saturday, we are all going to the waterpark! We will not have Wi-Fi there so be ready for a lot of pictures on Sunday!

After 444 steps, the view was amazing!
