Traveling to Quito last summer with my high school was an amazing experience; and as a Spanish 2 student, Guayasamín was a great way to practice my Spanish-speaking skills. Because we were immersed in Ecuadorian culture, our classes focused greatly on our personal experiences and concerns while communicating. And because of this, I felt I learned more than I ever could have in America. I also loved all of the staff at Guayasamín. Our director, Luis, and our teachers took us to local markets in town, museums in Quito, and even showed us how to cook a traditional Ecuadorian meal! It was such a great opportunity to explore the country and their culture.
