All is fantastic here in Quito. I returned last night from an excellent weekend in Baños where I hiked through the Amazonias with mud up to my knees, zip lined at 20 meters and 200 meters, had many delicious meals and great conversations with the wonderful women that accompanied me there, made friends with a man named Nacho (but his real name is Hunter) and a man named Novita (which I think translates to little girl friend), danced salsa, had a flaming shot in the colors of the Ecuadorian flag, and overall had an amazing time. I also spent some time after nearly freezing to death while hiking in a hot tub and sauna and then the next day met my first hot springs. (Those I encountered are not what you are thinking if you are thinking of natural beauty and spiritual awakenings - picture a really hot, brown (full of minerals) public pool with kids in innertubes and cannonballs.)
This week should be full of excitement:
Tuesday - Fundación Remar and Spanish lessons
Wednesday - Trip to Cumbaya and then Spanish trivia in the evening
Thursday - Fundación Remar, Spanish lessons, then a football game in the evening
Friday, Saturday and Sunday - day trips or weekend trips to different exciting locations in Ecuador
And then I only have one week left! I cannot believe how fast this has all flown by! I am going to miss my lil kiddos at Remar so much - we started talking about termination (i.e. discussing that we were leaving with our kiddos so they can prepare for dealing with it) and I almost started crying today. It will definitely be difficult...
That is about it for now! Miss you and love you!
Looks like you are having a completely amazing time. I am so jealous! Look forward to having you back soon though. ¿hace este que nosotros puede ahora conversar en secreto? Espero tan.
