My Mom is Making Me Write This

Haha, just kidding. Sort of... Anyways... well, this weekend was a long weekend for Ecuador, too. We didn't go anywhere, but Nathan stayed with us. Translation: I had an older brother for the weekend. Complete with getting made fun of and getting beat up. What fun! :/ A Charlie Horse. He gave me a Charlie Horse! For no reason! It still hurts... :(
On Monday we (Nate, Eli, DK and I) went shopping at another market type place. We rode the trolly there. Haha, before it left Eli said, "You're gonna go flying." I had nothing to hold onto... the trolly starts and I go flying... I grabbed Nate's arm and thank goodness DK was behind me. XD When we got there I got three pairs of earrings and a funky colored leather journal. Pretty sweet stuff.
Today we had another BYOM. So awesome!!! Rick and Luke and Jones and a bunch of others were part of the group that performed at the end. They did a song from each of the decades Rick has lived through. Man, they were great!!!
Yep... so I just wrote this really quick so my mom would stop complaining about how I haven't written anything on my blog... XD

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...

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...

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...
