First Week of Escuela :)

 My school here in Ecuador is called La Universidad de San Franscisco Quito (USFQ). The school mascot is a dragon and our colors are red and black. I love my school and the campus is absolutely breathtaking. The university is in a region called Cumbaya. There are around 200 international students attending the university this semester and 90% of them are American. There are 4,500 undergraduate students here.
Below is a picture of the "Lagoon" that has a waterfall and there are always lots of 
        students hanging out here and napping all throughout the school day.

 At first, I was scared to take my camera on the bus because I did not want it to get stolen. However, later in the week I took the chance to snap some beautiful photos on my way into campus. I take 2 buses to get to school. The first bus I catch on the next street over from my house and ride it 3 minutes to the bus station. Then I get on a green bus that takes me to Cumbaya. All of the buses that go to school are green. This is helpful because it prevented me from getting too lost during my first week.

There is a river down there....can you see it??
