Hola desde Quito! Ecuador esta fantastico!
I´m officially in love with Quito. It´s the best mix of city and tranquility. The city is surrounded by huge mountains on all sides and its gorgeous. Oh and music plays everywhere because as mi madre told me, la musica es la vida. I am living for the week with two other volunteers with a host mother. Our madre is really cool--she has the best life and an interesting take on life. She was talking to us about the difference in lifestyle of American´s go go go and the Spanish lifestyle of relaxation, and i completing agree with her. I think that´s why I like Spanish culture so much, its not all about tomorrow but more about today. She was also talking politics to me, yes I was in love and understood it all!!! There´s a craxy racist dog named Ricky that lives with us as well.
As for the adventures around the city we took a historic tour of Quito yesterday and got to see a lot of the culture of the city, watch a dance competition at a hight school, and climb to the top of the basilica (look it up the place is awesome) and did a little salsa dancing at the top! After our tour we had our first dance lesson....lets just saw it was interesting. A lot of sweating and hip swinging and running into each other! But we got to practice our moves last night with our dance instructors at the discotec (and they played danzo kaduro and prrrrum----pretty much made my night!)
So basically If I don´t return from Ecuador it´s because I love it. Chao :)
