I am back from the rainforest, and it was just the most incredible experience. I don´t really think there´s anything to say about it, except that the food, accomodations, company, flora, fauna, air, guides, and water were all incredible. I swam in a lagoon in the Amazon watching the sunset. But words don´t really do it justice.
I am unfortunatley stuck in this shithole of a town, Lago Agrio, until 11 pm today when the night bus leaves. Because I don´t want to get into Quito at night, and also, I´ve heard that the Quito-Lago Agrio route is full of particularly groutesque peril, and I don´t think I can maintain constant vigillance for 8 hours.
I am going to stop blogging now and actually look for month-long homestay opportunities in the Cuyabeno reserve, where I was. If I find one with families that speak Spanish and not the indigenous language, I might change my homestay location. I love it there that much.
Ok, wish me luck! Over and out.

I wish you luck on your next stay. You have had good luck so far and some good judgment calls as well. Love Zaydie
I'll try to repeat some of my prior comments that I could not figure out how to send. Abut neck cutting. I guess I could do it but it goes against my grain. "Do No Harm" is what I learned in school and tried to live my life that way. But eat we must.
Wise to turn back when you were not feeling well. Try never to get sick outside of your own state.
Being alone traveling in Quito is quite an undertaking om courage. Hope the rest of your stay goes well and is more or less restful. Love Zaydie.
