Galapagos

In my last post, I said my expectations were unreasonably high for visiting the Galapagos. But there was nothing to worry about, there was no way I could have been let down. It's pretty hard to put an experience like that into words, but if I was going to sum it up, I'd say it was a real life...

High on Quito

I arrived in Quito late at night after a long flight from Buenos Aires. The flight actually went by fairly quickly, and I had a bit of a chat with an Ecuadorian guy sitting next to me (some of it was even in Spanish!). I got up early the next day to have a look around the city. But first, I...

Visiting the town of Banos:also known as "bathrooms"

A man with a short,trimmed mustache leads you toward the back of the hostel. All you have is a pair of trunks on, or for you females the newest and cutest bikini. In your right hand is a towel. In your left hand is a cerveca, extra chilled. Ricardo and I happened to be the subjects of this...

rappin some beats in a high andean town in ecudor

Thirty hours of sitting in the last two back seats in the bus. The motor is right under your ass and your wedges in a child like seat right next to the bus bathroom, smelling whatever anyone had for dinner, while trying to shut your eyes, fighting off the claustrophobia of the high-chair size...

The Homestay!

The homestay was a little awkward from day one, but this was an obvious, expected, and even welcomed transgression from the norm. It was a monday and I had just finished my first day of school with my teacher, Mercedes. Lunchbox and locker combination in hand I was introduced to my adoptive...

Mitad Del Mundo

Our first week in Ecuador has been QUITO an experience. Our spanish grows by leaps and bounds. We are constantly confronted by words from the dizzying array of signs, the pushy shopkeepers, and not to mention the unrelenting inn keepers. It is a long ardous process that in all reality will take...

Bus Buddies

Each bus ride is never the same. One of my latest bus rides was particularily memorable. I have a cup of coffee and rum waiting for me upstairs in my hostel, so I'll try to make this quick! I took the cheapest bus I could find from Lima to Tacna - a 17 hour bus ride. Sometimes I'm too...
