Hola!
See, practically fluent.
Have been exploring Quito a bit more now in the afternoons after my lessons (have done 3 mornings now and it is making a difference).The city itself is interesting - I´m staying in the north, and then as you go sounth you get towards the business-y district, then new city (the touristy area with lots of hostels, bars, shops, and my school), and then the old city. Hopefully I´ll be heading up to the old town tonight with my spanish family to see it all- apparently its beautiful at night. The city as a whole is a mixture of pituresque and not so, but being able to see the surrounding mountains is very cool. Its quite polluted though- a mixture of the large numbers of cars and the humidity, I think.
Tomorrow I am going to go to the equator (oooh southern hemisphere) with a friend from the school (was considering hiking but I´m tired) - there´s a big monument and a museum where you can do equator-type things (not sure what, maybe flushing toilets?) and hopefully also visiting a big nearby volcano where lots of people live within the crater. Not sure what they do if it erupts, apparently its live.
Am feeling a bit more settled in now which is nice and I´m really enjoying at the school - I hadn´t realised how small it is, but it only seems to have 40 or so teachers and students at most at one time, and almost everyone is having one-to-one lessons. Today five students who had been there for about six weeks left and we had a bit of a party in the morning break :-) Also found out that there will be quite a few volunteers in the jungle when I go, which is good!

Make sure you look after yourself. Sounds like you're going to have a blast!
Ooh - you can finally put to rest the whole 'water spinning as it goes down the plughole' myth :D
