Christmas

Hola mis amigos 

Well let me tell you guys about my Christmas...

Friday the 20th was last school day and that was a nice feeling, but also it was my 4 months day in Ecuador! Friday night I went out together with Diana it was really funny and I had a great time. Saturday I took a taxi home to Diana and we made cupcakes and later that night we went out again. We meet Anthony in the city and hang with him, it was a really funny night and again I had a great time.

Sunday just a little family trip to Colombia ;-) Colombia is cool and really cheap. It was just a one day trip and we were just shopping, so not much to tell mostly because Colombia and Ecuador reminds a lot of each other. My family bought me really nice boots, it was my Christmas gift, I love them. Monday I slept all most the whole day - it was nice! But later I hangout with Sebastian and his friends. Sebastian is a rotex guy from Ibarra.

Love them! 

Wow already Christmas Eve. Actually it really didn't felt like Christmas at all. I have never felt so fare away from home, from everything I know, miss and love. It was a really different Christmas! The dinner was fare away from what i call Christmas dinner. Christmas is not as big as in Denmark. 

Unfortunately I was to busy missing my family and Danish Christmas, that I didn't have time to enjoy my Ecuadorian Christmas... 

Yes that was my Christmas dessert...

Looks weird, but not that bad

But next day the 25th, I had an amazing day. I was invited to a Christmas lunch with Diana's family. Diana's god mother is from USA and she lives with Diana's family. So Bonnie (Diana's god mother) had made a big and lovely Christmas lunch and had invited a lot of gringos. The definitions of gringos is white people from the us that doesn't speak Spanish, but in Ecuador every white person is a gringo/gringa even though they speak Spanish and aren't from the us... 

It really felt like Christmas, even though the sun was shining, it was 25 degrees and we where sitting outside eating Turkey. I had such a good time and I really got to enjoy Christmas in Ecuador. 

Later that night I went to a birthday party in Ibarra and stayed there for the night.

The 26th and the 27th I didn't do much just chilled and enjoyed the fact that I could sleep all day and didn't have to put make up on. Life can be chill in Ecuador.

Wait actually that's not true 27th I went out later around 8 pm when Diana was done with work. First we went to a bar with Anthony and after that to a new bar to meet up with one of Diana's friends, but when we came there was more then just one friend, but it was fine it was a good night. 

Friends 

I was supposed to go to Quito, because there was a chiva (party bus) with all the exchange students, but as usually things never goes after the time or the plans here. so instead I went with my host dad and mom on a little trip. we where going to Cuenca, but took a stop in Latacunga to have and we stayed over the night in Riobamba the 28th. 

Well 29th we didn't go to Cuenca instead we started driving back home, but one the way we saw a lot if things.
