I am still without internet. I mean, the computer in my house has internet, but sometimes I just want to use my laptop. Anyway, KK and I are in an internet cafe. The best thing about this cafe is they have cheap coffee and pastries and the internet is free! We’ve been here for a few hours just relaxing and catching up on things we missed on the internet. I have a little more than two weeks left here in Ecuador. It’s a bittersweet thing. I really love it here, but at the same time, I do want to return to the US.
Last Sunday, I took a walk because I was bored. I know my way around Quito, so I just kind of left my house just kind of walking. I ended up walking to the airport. It was really cool because every Sunday, the main street in Quito, Amazonas, is blocked off to cars, the only people on the street are bikers or walkers/joggers. It was really neat, I was walking in the road with everyone else and having a fun time! Amazonas takes me to the airport, so that’s where I rested. I had my camera, so I took pictures of what was around me. The whole time I was there, two planes took off and a small plane landed. I was hoping a big plane would land so I could take a video of how close it gets to the road and the buildings, but none came. It was a nice relaxing walk, and go figure, a few minutes after I left, a big plane was about to land. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow.
This past week has been mellow. Class is class as usual, and last night we hung out and partied at KK’s house. Nothing too crazy though, just bought some drinks and sat on her patio and drank and talked. Today is also looking to be a mellow day, as we dont currently have plans for tonight. Tomorrow I plan on taking my weekly Sunday walk to the airport and possibly going to the artisan market to buy goodies.
Other than that, I really have nothing much to say. I uploaded my 5th picture album onto
Facebook, so you can find the link on the right side of the page.
