Wireless Internet at the hostel! We're currently in Tiki Limbo Backpacker's Hostel in Montanita. It's a beach/surfer town with plenty of nature loving hippies. It was a little rough getting here, but we made it. I've already been to Cuenca and Guayaquil along with Sigsig, Ingapirca, Parque Nacional Cajas... etc since I last posted. There are so many different places and people in Ecuador, even though it's such a small country.
Anyway, I'm using Eboni's computer to post right now so I'm going to keep it short. Most everything has gone smoothly. My favorite day was probably when we went to Parque Nacional Cajas (National Park of Cajas) near Cuenca. We were completely unprepared, but we hiked around the lake (it took us 2.5 hours). We all had our share of slips and falls, but it was incredibly rewarding. The views were also beautiful.
Also, I've talked to my host family on average every other day. Every time we've talked, Genesis gets on the phone and loudly tells me to remember to bring my umbrella, just in case it rains. It's very cute. Also Juan Carlos reminds me that they're still in Lumbisi, which seems like a given but I suppose it's comforting to know that my host family won't pick up and leave while I'm away.
Most awkward/funny moment: Walking in the park at Guayaquil, an elderly man said "Hola Chinita linda." Which translates to Hello, beautiful little Chinese girl. Soo creepy! When we started laughing out loud, he did too.
Until next time, amigos. Chao chao.
