Que chevere! (How cool!)

TOUCAN!!!!!!!

So I went to the Equator! It was incredible! I learned so much about Inca culture and knowledge on this trip! The leader showed how to test the electromagnetic fields around the equator and of people with these copper rods. So cool! Here are some pictures:

So this trip was in San Miguel de los Bancos which was almost 3 hours from Quito! The scenery on the trip was gorgeous! We ended up in an environmentally friendly resort. It was soo relaxing and it was great to see more of Ecuador. However the reality is that I bet very few Ecuadorians are able to go there.

Right when we got to the resort we went on a hike! It was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done! I loved it! Great exercise too! Here are some pictures:

I love being here! I am starting to become more comfortable with my family and my spanish! I also have been able to see more of the city since I am now able to leave the house alone! It is great! Here are some pictures of my family:

I went out on the town for the first time on Saturday and I was amazed at how cheap everything was! A 40oz of beer here costs $1!!! Amazing! While I was out I got a glimpse of the old part of Quito! Beautiful! The architecture is incredible and it is very cute! Can't wait to see more of Quito!

Okay I'll post more later...

Until then...

Ciao!
