Past and Plans

I went on a trip for about a week and visited a city in the southern half of Ecuador last week called Cuenca. It is beautiful. Had fun at a Halloween party with about 60 other PC volunteers. Went hiking at Cajas National Park - Beautiful. It was great to spend some time with friends and relax.

Finished up the week by going rafting in the Oriente (which is the beginning of the Amazon Jungle). Participated in an amatuer white-water rafting contest for $5... got to experience one of the best rafting rivers in the world. Apparently the rafting world championships were held there last year.

Now, I am enjoying a couple of (beginning to feel) normal weeks here at home. Next Saturday, I am going to go to the capital to watch U of M play footbal and meet up with my best friend here in Ecuador. Then, she is going to come back with me to visit my site for a few days.

That is pretty much the plan. My normal schedule is now to teach at elementary schools on Tuesday and Thursday, a high school on Wednesday. I work on projects with women´s groups on Wednesday and Sunday evening and with a group of 16-20 year olds on Friday night. Saturday and Monday are my free days and I spend them in the city or out exploring the mountains.

The rest of the time I spend with some friends in my town playing cards, hanging out with my neighbor Carlos, or reading... a lot.

That is the best summary I can do.

Hola amigo! (if my keyboard had the upside down exclamation point i would have entered it). Just wanted you to know that i'm reading these. and i know how important they are for you as a means of communication/personal journal. you'll be amazed to go back and read them some day. thinking about you a lot lately. trying to think what i can sell to come spend smoe time with you...my body? (plasma, sex, or just my seed) maybe. can't someone just pay me to make them mix cd's and come up with really cool gifts. cause i think i could do that pretty well. Glad to hear you experiencing some sort of normal. rafting sounds friggin awesome. You are loved.
