did you know that september is "5 a day" month? did you know that you should be eating fruits and vegetables that are the color of the rainbow? did you know that the food pyramid has been redesigned? if not, you should educate yourself! you can check out how valuable fruits and veggies are at www.5aday.com and see how you are doing with the food pyramid at mypyramid.gov...at this website you can enter all the food you eat in a day and see where you are compared to the reccomendations...its pretty cool! we are going to be taking a closer look in my classroom :)

anyways...today i went "ropa americano" shopping..which entails a goodwill like experience here in ecuador! i guess there are huge boxes of goodwill clothes that get shipped here each week! there really are american brands..its kinda funny! i found a few things...but you know how those experiences go..hit and miss

not anything too exciting is happening..monday, we dont have school...which i just forgot about! i dont have school on monday! yes! i need to get some running shoes, which now i have time to go to ambato (2 1/2 hr bus ride) bc i didnt bring my nice ones down here..and my feet are killing me becuase of it!

there have been a few young people occurances...which is nice...keeps things interesting around here...

school is going fine...im getting a little tired of school...but it will be fine...ill snap out of it :)

talked to my parents the other night...in cambodia..i think thats where they were...somewhere on some tropical beach/paradise type of thing :) hi mom and dad...you are really great :)

pretty tired...ive been researching this 5 a day thing for a long time now...prob about 4 hours...yeah..tonight has been slow :)
much love!
