Where we live has a huge influence on how we grow up. I've been lucky enough to live with a host family here that includes my host mom and dad as well as two host sisters, Ely and Adry. Living with them has taught me a lot about what it's like to grow up in Ecuador. To learn some more about kid's lives here, I interviewed Ely and Adry. Ely is ten and her older sister is 15. We did our interview in Spanish, but I've translated their respones for you below. They usually took turns answering questions, though sometimes both wanted to respond. Enjoy!
Adry: For breakfast I eat something healthy like fruit, brown bread and juice. For lunch, I eat more: usually rice, chicken, french fries and salad. For dinner something simple like a toasted sandwich or a tortilla, and always with juice or coffee.
Note: In Ecuador "tortillas" are not the same as in the U.S. Rather than just flat round breads, they are are flat breads stuffed with cheese and then grilled.
