Rainforest!

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.
