Nothing Out of the Ordinary

Nothing out of the ordinary has happened recently. I'm just in Ecuador, why would anything out of the ordinary be happening? Haha, every day here is exciting. Even if nothing particularly exciting happens, it's all wonderful.
I've been sat on, multiple times. By three guys. At once. Yes, I did almost die. And, yes, it will most likely happen again. But even that has become a normal occurrence.
I have never walked so much in my life. And I love it. I love to walk places. I also love to wear shorts and flip flops almost every day.
Seeing the mountains out of nearly every single window has become common place.
Receiving some sort of injury (all small, but still painful enough to be annoying) compliments of Nathan, Josh and Daniel are to be expected.
Laughing so hard that my stomach hurts has become a daily occurrence.
So, nothing out of the ordinary has happened. Unless, of course, you count when I scared the bajeebers out of Nathan during Honey, If You Love Me because I made HIM awkward. Now, THAT was funny. Or if you count Josh playing with a sheep puppet...now THAT was special. Even more special than TJ (sorry Corisa). Or if you count getting in so many water fights, it has become an extraordinary visit from Nathan when I DON'T get wet. Or plotting many sinister plots against multiple people (I WILL get you guys back). Or going to a soccer game for $5. Or getting soaked after two minutes out in the rain (which I love). Or getting a tan (just kidding. I do not have a tan.).
Yep, we've decided (Eli, DK, Nathan, Hannah, me, etc, etc) that you guys will not recognize me when I get back. I'll be a totally different person. They are brainwashing me. And I'm enjoying every second of it. :D
Also, I am staying here.

Storm Chasers

Another non-fiction writing course composition. This project was a revision of the manifesto we did a while back. ( http://shaneenstravels.blogspot.ca/2016/01/new-year-new-adventures.html ) This is based on a true story - one of the greatest nights I've spent with some of my best friends. The night we chased the storm. The Greatest Adventure Story The night was enticing and full of potential. A storm raged outside, a call to the heart of an adventurer.  However, the young band of heroes curled up safe and dry in their lair, where the sounds of the wind and rain could not reach them.  The adventurers were taking a night off of their usual daring deeds, choosing instead to idly watch the night pass them by.             The hero of a great adventure story must be more interested in experiencing life than they are in merely passing the time.  Excitement comes far more easily and frequently to the active adventurer...

I'm Staying

Basically it's official. I'm staying here. I love it!!! I love the people!!! I am staying. Saturday was awesome. We went to the cast party for Eli's play. That was fun. The chili and cookies tasted so amazing! The best I have ever eaten. And everyone was so overtired... wearing bowls on their heads... talking with stuffed dogs... laughing hysterically at Pixar's shorts. And stupid things people said. Sunday I went to downtown Quito - the tourist area. Saw some gorgeous churches. I loved the Basilica. So intricately awesome. When I got home (it was just Uncle Earl, me and some other visitors) Nathan was here. That was fun. XD Whipped cream... water... all over... yeah. Today I had my first Spanish lesson. It went pretty well. The teacher is really nice. It was mostly review, but some new stuff as well. Went to the first half of the soccer game, before we had to go shopping for snacks for this weekend. It was such an intense game. 2-0, for the other t...

The Magic of HoCho

(Just a fun little writing project from my class to keep you warm on this wintry day.) Winter can be a tough time for everyone.  Days are shorter and often darker, bringing about seasonal doldrums.  The annual battle against the elements is a struggle felt by everyone, whether working out in the blizzards, driving on the icy roads, or hauling a toboggan up the slippery hill.  When the frosty grasp of winter works its way past toques and scarves and settles into the bones, the cold can seem impossible to escape.   But fear not!  There is yet a beacon of light and warmth in the vast wintry plains, a small comfort, bringing hope to even the most frozen of winter sufferers.  It is hot chocolate!  That glorious miracle of a delicious hot beverage, come to restore feeling to the extremities and joy to the heart.   In the beginning days of hot chocolate, Mayans and Aztecs believed the drink to have medicinal properties, probably du...
