Hi folks! Hola queridos!
Now it's time for a long time as far as a report for you from me = Read)!
There have been some complaints that I'm so slow that I apologize again, but is just not always as fast =). Please understand folks!
A month has passed and of course I re-experienced many times new and exciting things and I have eaten better and better, of course, settled here. Now is already almost everything here has become the norm.
I am, which is nothing new, traveled a lot. There was the recent weeks many fiestas in all sorts of towns, we had to go there and look at the. For the first time we went to Cuenca in the mountains. The city was visited, including the Panama hat museum, with all markets and then of course most importantly the evening fireworks. For this I must add that to go pretty crazy here, rather, it is almost suicidal =)! Traditionally, this "la vaca loca" ausgpackt on the crazy German cow. This is a great tinkered Pappkartonkuh what loud fireworks are fastened together. This whole frame was a man on the head and runs around in circles just close by to the people. Totally wrong, because that is losknallen these small rockets and then fly to each other and shoot. Not in the heavens, no, no, directly into the crowd, where mothers with their Babies are. But that does not interfere here. We would also want a whole troop of firemen guard, not so here. The biggest spectacle is the rocket tower. There's turn firmly mounted rocket bikes ... anything that can be thought of in the area only. A lot of noise and Mortz Raketchen take care of you must! Escape is not bad =)! It has a palm tree then began to burn, then came after half an hour, when the little men red times, was saved slow! It will listen to very negative, but it was great fun and very funny to witness a real fireworks times on Ecuadorian way.

Finally, we made a day trip to the National Park "Las Cajas". We are somewhere jumped from our ride, as our Ecuadorian friend has overlooked the entrance =)! Anyway, we then have even made their way through rubble stone slopes down to a lake with llamas. Then we got the bright idea to a small mountain to climb, but before that we had come had to cross a vast marsh. Everyone has done it with pretty dirty shoes at the other end to come! The mountain turned out to be extremely exhausting, you have set the height felt really lousy, thank God there was the stronger grass what you could pull up nicely. At the top we had the best view and the feeling was just overwhelming! Heim were brought to us by a car, the rear already loud with people on it were, overall, we squeezed it on a small cargo area to 15. 
Fiestas's were also in Latacunga. Namely, the Mama Negra festival. A never-ending procession of crowds of people, lots of alcohol to people on the edge was poured directly into the mouth, so that every time rather degenerate

's course was the end fiestas in my town. A nice Moving with many dances and Collegios present there too, with totally exaggerated costumes and marching costumes. Unfortunately, it then started to rain like that of, but since not so rare, the dancing was nice =)!

One weekend I even on the coast near other volunteers spent what was really super nice. We went to Atacames Mompiche and after a little surfing village. There were coconut trees on the beach, of which we could gather and drink fresh coconuts. It was just perfect, especially as it would still be going close a flock of pelicans flew by us. Of course I have once again drawn NEN sat sun burn, so that my nose peeled like a snake!

a butterfly farm was also in this weekend program. Huge beautiful butterflies and a large tarantula, which I was even allowed to keep on hand. Then another waterfall tour, which was incredibly stressful, but in the end was rewarded with a cool dip below!

The coolest thing that I see in the Time have made here, however, was the visit of the Apes station. There, free live about 60 monkeys taken from captivity and there may have a great life. In any case, get out the really close to one, sit on your shoulders so you can run around all the time with them. What they find is super cool when they spin around wildly, looking from very funny! Of course, I was again angekackt and peed on, both at the same time, the monkeys had unfortunately diarrhea. The stench was beastly and the others were amused about me.

As for the schools, I am now in a third as an English teacher, because I had so many free hours. The New is also located just outside and then go through the children whose parents can not the bus to Puyo can afford. Mostly, they have also run about 1 hour to school because they live further away in the countryside. There, I like it so far at best, because the classes are much smaller and thus I have no problems at all, to keep them quiet =)! The work here is so much more pleasant and therefore I do not lose as much again Time.
The timetable is now in a way that I can go twice a week to my mother-in to her there to watch the cooking. So far, I still could not do so much =), but some things I could cook already!
will slow me realize how I am getting used to certain things over which I would be incredibly upset in Germany. Since the buckling up would be when driving. Most belts do not work or drive it with so many people in a car that one can no longer buckle up here. At home I felt really naked without a belt, but here it is anyway different!
too often that people wash their clothes by the river, that they eat it all, the head of the fish, the whole chicken. ... Cartilage, eye, heart, liver, feet, (I eat almost everything now, except the eyes, the taste of me), the wild bus travel, ... to this and much more used to it quickly and you can see it not as funny or disgusting. (Sometimes disgust's me, of course, already have =)!) What I also could not be so shocked when children sell their stuff on the street, in the beginning was a little crass, but this need in many families simply work all the members, so they have enough money to live.

Finally, my latest experience with the eat =)!

So I hear once again, I try to write even faster the next report!
Bis bald und liebe Grüße Eure Melanie

Hello
I'm still right here in Puyo. From one week I teach English at a third small school, that had many free hours and I got bored a lot. So I'm very happy at this and I have also more wee classes and students are more! Not that I have described and they do not make so much noise.
In my family all okay, I can decide myself how I want to eat, before it was almost impossible for me to eat absolutely everything. What a beast! And gain weight a lot and I have to see how I'm going to lose again.
the rainy season has begun. Until three or four very hot and then there is lluviendo, but so strong. I like a lot, in Germany as there is no rain here.
This weekend I have to go to Quito for a seminar of my ORGANISATION! In the capital there at the same time the major parties with a parade and much much dancing =)! Amprendí and a little well, but I still look like an idiot. I have still much to learn!
Well Claudia, a hole dug my Novidades in English for you!
A big hug
Chao chao
Melanie
