Galapagos=TOMORROW!

Hola amigos!

It’s our last full day in Quito. We leave tomorrow at 9 am for San Cristobal for 5 weeks. We are so anxious. We have been just relaxing the last 2 day. We finished a little shopping in the open air markets for presents for our families. Sent out the rest of our postcards! Everything has been great. The weather has been fantastic and the last two nights, we got a little brave and explored a coupe blocks of Quito at night. We figure Friday and Saturday were good nights because the whole town was out going to discotechs and bars. It was fun watching the locals hit the town. And I felt at home sometimes hearing Rihanna and other artists that we often here back in the states. haha. I know there were other Americans in the hostal this morning when I could hear Britney Spear’s “Womanizer” playing froma room across the hall. I thought about all my girls back home and sang to myself as Ian kept sleeping haha. And we’ve played countless games of double solitaire, which Ian has been winning some! And mom and ainsley, i have really got down how to do the fancy card trick I was so jealous of in st. georges island! You would be proud!

We did a little laundry last night and got in trouble..the first real probelm we’ve had. I guess we were supposed to ask because laundry is not offered here, but I apoligized to the woman the best I could in Spanish. We were totally embarrased, I almost wouldn’t come down for breakfast this morning. We felt ridiculous. But we made it up to her this morning when I didn’t speak a word of English as we sat in the office to pay our hostal bills. She seemed happy that we were trying so hard and she forgave us haha

Although its only 70 to 75 degrees here during the day, the equatoral sun is showing its true colors, especially on our noses. Our faces look very tan already, even though we’ve been wearing jeans and scarves most days.

Alright, wish us safe travel tomorrow. We’ll update next friday when we have computer access again. For all you readers, we will only have internet access Friday through Sunday. On the reseve there are no computers. Love you all!

Cheers,

Ian and Erin
