I´m in Ecuador!  Been here for about three weeks now.  We spent some time inland (where the temps reached near freezing at night), around Quito & Banos.

But my sister and I decided that we needed to seek out some warmer areas, so we headed to the coast.  Now we´re in a small hippie-turista town called Montanita where hippies line the streets with their artesianos, and half-nekked people cover the beaches on the weekends.  And every evening, people sit and wait on the sidewalks until around midnight when the parties start a-hoppin.  And that´s about all for now.

  Today I plan to sit in the sand, practice my spanish, maybe surf or play a little futbol, and go out for some dancing later.

  Hope anyone who happens to be reading this is well.  ok, ciao!
