Ecuador!

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 | By dawnski | Views [358]

Hello, I’m in Quito. Sitting in a very funky little internet café eating a huge bowl of fresh fruit, muesli, yogurt and honey, to be precise. Yum. I got here just fine yesterday; everything arrived, departed, took off and landed on time and ... Read more >

Hey all, This weekend was pretty un-exciting for me. The end of the year is demanding more studying than I'd prefer, but what can you do, right? So the one adventure I had this weekend was with my volcanology class. We went to ... Read more >

Buenos dias all!! Well, my weekend was slightly disappointing for my whole Andinismo class. However, we did do all we could to make the best of it, and in my opinion, we did a pretty dang good job!! So here was the ... Read more >

Perros Calientes

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 | By mueller-san | Views [1656] | Comments [1]

Shock may be too strong of a word, (I think amusement is more appropriate), but I have found one cultural difference which stands out to me – if only in its frequency. Indeed, I generally think of hot dogs as one of the few typical North American ... Read more >

La Familia

We were all waiting in the conference room of the Hotel Embassy, immediately after our session about some classically Ecuadorian cultural quarks. In addition to the warning that men would be pressured to drink a lot, and that there are many Quichaua ... Read more >

Weekend in Mindo

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 | By kim-bloomfield | Views [995]

Mindo is a river town just a mere hour from the volcano and 2 hours north of Quito. Mindo is one of those destinations that the bus does not drop you off in the town. You either walk the 7km or have luck with a private truck coming by. I happened ... Read more >

Trip to Baños

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 | By kim-bloomfield | Views [1064]

Baños is south of Quito. I had a week of vacation off from school. What a strange place to find in Ecuador. Baños is full of bright colors, the clothes, the signs, the painted walls of the buildings. Many of the shops and restaurants are owned by ... Read more >

The Galapagos with Sarah

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 | By kim-bloomfield | Views [662] | Comments [1]

The Galapagos were awesome. A place I think everyone who enjoys the outdoors should go. If you don't like the outdoors, rent a nice video. My long term friend Sarah and I had a great trip ( minus the bits that the tour company screwed up). Our guides ... Read more >

A Bubble Indeed

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 | By mueller-san | Views [926] | Comments [1]

A bubble orientation was, for sure. We had classes all day every day, commencing with Spanish classes at 7 in the morning, and eventually ending at the conclusion of our practice teaching at SECAP Sur in Quito at 8 in the evening. Besides ... Read more >
