Quito: Day 4

The whole silly gato crew on the all-too-familiar bus.

Before I get ahead of myself, some of the other girls and I watched a very funny Spanish soap opera... Terrible acting and a dramatic plot-line was exactly what we needed. To give you an idea, a woman caught her boyfriend cheating on her and called the cops. Great Spanish practice!  We also discussed all of the places we’ve traveled. Collectively, we’ve been all over the place to over 40 countries. 

Moral of the day: Canadian preparatory ideals are not universal! We went to the Canadian Embassy and got a wake-up call about how to prepare for the volcano. I'll explain that more in a week or so... In a week I think it will be more funny than it is now.

We got cell phones today! That was a funny time. They are indestructible! 

We went to an Itallian place today for dinner. While the pizza was great, my lasagna was terribly salty and without sauce! We laughed about it a lot. 

I LOVE THESE GIRLS! We had so much fun. I spent some time upstairs for a few hours with a bunch of people, and then when I headed to bed I listened to a hilarious conversation between Annika and Rachel. This group is so great because there are no clicks, everyone is accepting of one another, and everyone is friendly. We've already had so many laughs, and it has only been a few days.
