It has been since three days since I started my volunteer work at Pablo Arturo Suarez, a fairly modern hospital in Northern Quito. My typical day is as so:
6:15 AM Get up. Get ready. Breakfast with the host family. Walk to bus stop.
7:15 AM Jump on the bus (literally).
8:00 AM Arrive at Pablo Arturo Suarez hospital, sign in, gown up, and assist the doctors and nurses at ¨therapia intensivo¨ (ICU)
10:30 AM Snack break
12:00 PM Lunch break
12:30 PM Continue the day on the floor (or go home if there are no new patients).
4:00 PM Sign out. Chat with Monica, the secretary, about Ecuador. Buy fresh bread from the corner bakery from Henry. Jump on the bus.
5:30 PM Hop off the bus. Enjoy a walk around my town (Plaza Foch), use the internet, talk to local shop keepers.
6:30 PM Participate in the activity from my volunteer organization (salsa class, city tour, cocktail class).
8:30 PM Dinner with the host family.
9:00 PM Free time: get a drink in the plaza, play with host family kids, etc.
11:00 PM Shower, sleep.
