Back home!

Hey Students!

It was a little weird sweating in Guayaquil Tuesday morning and then coming home to shovel 8 inches of snow on Wednesday morning. But I'm back, safe in sound, and ready for another semester. I will actually see you guys tomorrow!

So for my last post, I wanted to share with you a couple of things that I found interesting in Ecuador.

1. You don't flush your toilet paper. Apparently the pipes aren't as large in Ecuador, so if you flush your toilet paper, it will clog. So there is a little garbage can next to every toilet. This was a bit of culture shock in the beginning.

2. Sometimes bridges aren't finished.... No caution tape, no signs, just lose planks 20 feet in the air...

3. Crosswalks are rare...

Notice the road behind me... It is a 5 lane highway. My sister and I had to sprint across this road every morning. No crossing guards. It felt like we were playing real life Frogger.

With all that said, I will miss Ecuador. It was a great trip and I loved being there. I am very thankful for a great time with my sister, experiencing what she sees daily.

Sorry students, no bonus question today. But if you would like to get extra credit for the bonus questions, please turn in all four questions with your names on them. See you tomorrow!

Mr. Hayes
