I'm still in Ecuador: August 2009
http://alonsomarian.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 24, 2009. Well I'm not quite there yet, but I didn't want you to forget about me. Hi, this is Marian and on Saturday I'll head to LA for one last week of fun before I go back to Ecuador for one more year of fun. I mean work. Anyway, this is how I feel:.

I'm still in Ecuador: October 2009
http://alonsomarian.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 31, 2009. Anyway, they're good students, my age if not older (though none are older than 27) and they laugh at my jokes. It's especially hilarious if I throw in some lingo here are there (like chuchaqui. Quichwa for hung over). They also love it when Brad Pitt shows up in my examples.Brad Pitt is hotter than most? Or hottest of them all? Hottest of them all,. Very good. I'm not even a huge fan, but being a teacher means sacrificing your dignity sometimes. Ahhh, I may sound melancholic b...

I'm still in Ecuador: May 2010
http://alonsomarian.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 31, 2010. Nothing particularly exciting happened in the months of April and May, so I let the blog slide a bit. Not to worry, though, as I've come back with photos of a fantastic trip through the sierra (Andes mountains) through Quito-Riobamba-Guamote-Alausí-Cuenca. Early morning start in Riobamba where we boarded the autoferro. Pretty much a bus that's been converted into a train car. If you look closely you can see mount Chimborazo in the back. There's Chimborazo and some lovely countryside.

I'm still in Ecuador: Take out your personal watercraft
http://alonsomarian.blogspot.com/2010/02/take-out-your-personal-watercraft.html
Thursday, February 18, 2010. Take out your personal watercraft. Today in my intermediate class we played charades with two-part verbs. It goes like this: the students have to write down a bunch of requests using two-part verbs on little cards (por ejemplo, clean up. The kitchen, put away. Your things, take out. The trash, etc). Then they exchange cards and have to act out the request and get their team to guess correctly. Take out the teacher (M.A) and close the door. All in good fun, I promise).

I'm still in Ecuador: December 2009
http://alonsomarian.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 26, 2009. Amazon, here I come. Leaving tonight on a bus to Cuyabeno, where anacondas, crocodiles, pink dolphins and piranhas await. I'll tell you all about it when I get back. Posted by Marian Alonso. Sunday, December 6, 2009. Drenching the volunteers with water was by far the most popular game. Pluck away, Noé. In my eyes you can do no wrong. Angie's a drama queen. And then there's precious Christian. I only have one more full week of classes left and then it's vacation time!

I'm still in Ecuador: Vilcabamba
http://alonsomarian.blogspot.com/2010/07/vilcabamba.html
Sunday, July 4, 2010. I travelled to the "valley of longevity" with Mary, Tasha, and Chrissy. Vilcabamba is known for its elderly population. Something in the water, they say, gives folks the ability to live longer (we're talking 100, even 130 years old as the legend goes, though I don't know if that's true or just a little local embellishment. Do I really care? No, because everyone in town is so proud of the 130-year-old man.). Oh yeah, ¡Feliz 4th of July! Much love, M. Posted by Marian Alonso. Reminder...

I'm still in Ecuador: Climbing Rocks
http://alonsomarian.blogspot.com/2010/01/climbing-rocks.html
Tuesday, January 26, 2010. About to finish the fourth week of this cycle (the half-way point.jeez, things move quickly sometimes). The latest news is that our lease is up in mid-March. Roommates Will and Elsa are leaving- Will back to the states and Elsa back to Guayaquil. I will miss them terribly. Below are some pictures from a little rock-climbing trip last weekend. In case you were wondering, no- I didn't make it to the top. Santiago, who owns the equipment and knew what he was doing, gracias a dios.
