My Spanish teacher is passionate - and somewhat opinionated - about her subject and Ecuador: she keeps me on my toes: 2 to 5 hours of lessons a day, some homework, and full immersion into Spanish during meals and excursions. She is widely travelled in South America, fiercely independent (after some tough experiences in the past) and patriotic, highlighting the very hands-on achievements of the Correa government: great strides in public education, a free public health system, a decent minimum wage, regular payment of salaries, improved public transport ...
In the Otavalo region, I get to see the market, of course, and the Peguche waterfall in one of the nature reserves which are free to the public.もっと詳しく
