You might want to sit down for this one. Ive been takin classes in a center called Vida Verde with everyone else. Currently, Im in a class with Eamon and Phil and our teacher, who is named Martha. Now Martha is what I would probably call a little informal. For instance, the first day all we did was talk, talk, talk for 4 hours. Kind of exhausting and, well to be completely honest, annoying. We didnt really learn anything, but having the chance to talk was good.
Moving on. . .yesterday, she took us to an open air market. It was neat to go around and ask her about all these weird looking fruits. However, the plan was for her to have us talk to the vendors and then buy fruit so we could try. We didnt talk to ANY of the vendors (which was probably a good thing, considering they all looked pretty pissed off), and she didnt buy anything because Eamon was feelin under the weather. We then proceeded to talk about relationships and how Ecuadorians feel toward people from the States and vice versa. She was givin us advice on what to get girls, what to say, etc. She actually straight up asked Phil and Eamon too if they ¨liked latina girls.¨ Kinda awkward. She also called Phil´s personality cold and asked Eamon about his hair. I dont know what she was thinking, but I just chalked it up to it being the 2nd day.
Well I was totally wrong. Today Phil and Eamon walked into the classroom looking like absolute death. Phil actually left the class to yack because his stomach was feelin so bad. Martha really didnt have any idea on what to do. . .except when Eamon pulled out my shoes that he had in his luggage (dont ask). Here goes the convo. . .
Martha: Que grands estos zapados (those shoes are big)
me: bueno, son 11 y medias. . .no son tan grandes, son mas o menos tipicos (theyre 11 and a half, thats more or less the average i guess)
Martha: Bueno, yo he oido que todoooooo en los estados unidos es grande *wink* (well, i heard EVERYTHING in the usa is big)
us: . . .
me: estas diciendo sobre. . .ugh (are you talking about. . .???)
Martha: ayyy tengo un poco de verguenza. . .(oh snap Im a little embarassed)
can you believe that crap?! I mean wow. Well Phil and Eamon left early because they were feelin like butt, which left me alone with Martha. Yay. Im kind of painting her in a bad light, because honestly she is super nice and personable. . .but she might want to veer away from phallic references. Next thing you know. . .well, actually I dont even want to imagine where she could go even further.
In other news, we´re goin to one of the most beautiful beaches in Ecuador this weekend, Los Frailes. Google it and BE JEALOUS. Ill be sure to take mad pics and vids, stay tuned.
