Last Monday half of the exchange students from Ecuador went to a hotel resort in Punta Centinela for 4 days to do a language camp. I got to meet 75 other exchange students from all over the world! Most of the students were from USA or Germany, but others were from Austria, Taiwan, France, Brazil, and Hungary. It was so beautiful at the resort, being right at the beach. The first and last day there we were allowed to experience the entire resort, including pool, hot tub, restaurants, jet skiing, laying on the beach, soccer, volley ball, and dancing. Tuesday and Thursday we had 3, two hour sessions both days for spanish class, which was very helpful! we got long breaks in-between each class which was nice, and they ended at 6 both nights, so we had the entire night to eat, get to know everyone, swim, watch performances, dance at the discoteca, and enjoy Ecuador. The picture in the top right is the view of the resort from my room. The picture below is where the discoteca was at night, and where we would have our classes during the day. It was a little hard to concentrate because the beach was only 40 feet behind it.

My favorite part of the entire trip was at the end. When we were driving back to Guayaquil. my group and about 30 other exchange students stopped at an orphanage to play with the kids there who either don't have parents, or were taken from their homes by the government because of an unfit home situation they were living in. A TV channel came to film us and ask us about our exchange. We unfortunately only got to stay for an hour, but that has been one of my favorite parts of my exchange so far.
