OTAVALO
Hello Everyone!! Iam here in the beautiful city of Otavalo, north of Quito. We traveled about 2 1/2 hours from Quito to this incredible city in the Andes. I am staying in the home of La Familia Reyes y Rodriguez with another teacher named Jessica, who is from the Soo Locks-Michigan. I am so amazed at the affection and sincerity of our host family. Jessica and I have lively discussion with the family at breakfast and dinner. They are very patient with our spanish but I am amazed how much spanish I DO KNOW…it just flows out of me. Below is a picture of me on Calle Alonso de Carvajal, in front of the home in which we live. 
Eso es Latinoamerica!! So happy to see you there and enjoying the richness of Latin culture. Isn’t it so COOL to be in a different country, different customs and routines? xoxoxo Mike
