First Day For Teachers - Ecuador Style!

I know it sounds funny to Northern Hemisphere teachers but today - 22 March - is the first day back for teachers on a new school year. The first week is on reduced hours - no classes starting at 7:15 - so for this week we come in an hour later. For me and the others who don't have a car, the school sends around an expreso (a private bus). Lisa was just picked up by her school's bus, since InterAmericano goes by the North-american school calendar, so I have about an hour to kill.

Excited? Yeah! But it is raining outside, and I have two bags of stuff I'm carrying in to get started organizing. Bleah! Maybe I'll get lucky and the rain will pass by?
