Remember the giant stick that Abuela gave to Rosa when we were about to walk home at night? Well I think I was incorrect in thinking the stick was for the dogs. The stick was most likely for the snakes! Ahhh snake! This past weekend we went for a walk around Lumbisi and we ran into Abuela in the family plot of corn. She gave Rosa another big stick before we walked through the corn. I noticed Rosa beating the side bushes with the stick as we walked. I had my suspicions so I asked her why she had the stick. She told me it was to scare the snakes away. But fear not, the snakes are harmless (so I was told).

Clases
I have spoken to an Ecuadorean student in my Political Science class! On Monday, we were waiting outside of the classroom, and I asked her if she was in my class. I tried to ask her about our readings because the syllabus is unclear. Well she didn't understand me. Because she's polite (I also think it's typical to say this here in Ecuador) instead of saying "What?" She said "Forgive me?" No, please forgive my terrible Spanish. Anyway, after that she started talking to me in English. When we got into the class she sat by herself in the first row and I sat in the second row with another international student. I eventually asked Andrea to come sit with us. Hopefully, I will stay in the same class and hopefully she'll continue to sit next to me. Not that difficult after all :)
