Happy April Fool’s Day!! I don’t know where the time’s gone, but I am about halfway done. I finished the first cycle of Spanish classes, so I have a fews days off. I start classes again on Thursday, and when this cycle ends on May 9th, I will be heading home.
This weekend, the university took us to Mindo, a city about two hours west of Quito. There were tons of bugs, and I have about 30 bug bites. I don’t care; it wasn’t a malaria zone and there are no bugs in Quito since it is too high an altitude. Anyway, it was the rainforest, so it was so much warmer than Quito. We went rafting in the river, which was really fun. At first we were a little scared, because they were really strong rapids. However, we went rafting in groups and had two guides, both of which stood up in the water the whole time. I had a blast, and felt so refreshed afterwards. Later, we took a walk to a butterfly place. I have never seen so many butterflies! They had all kinds of butterflies, not just monarchs. They even had ones that look like they have eyes on their wings.
The next day, KK, Allison and I decided we didn’t want to go hiking, especially after we found out it was 2 hours to the top. So we decided to stay at the hotel and sunbathe. We relaxed, laid out in the sun, and went in the pool. We got back Sunday night at about 6.
We haven’t really done anything eventful since then. Yesterday Marie and Braulio came over my house and we watched tv and went online. The rest of the week looks to be that way, as classes start Thursday. Tomorrow night is ladies night at Bungalow6, which means that ladies get in free and there are free cocktails 8-10. We are thinking about going, especially after hearing it wouldn’t really cost us that much to do so.
