Well today is my last day in Ecuador and I am very sad I have to go. I have to be responsible and go to college like everyone else I guess. Oh well I have some new career ideas mom and dad, but you would probably hate them. Anyways, Baños is an actuall city in Ecuador with adventure sports and natural thermal pools.( the direct translation of a Baño is bath not a camode???) I met tons of people from England to Australia to France to Canada to LA and to even Montgomery, AL. I never stayed in a dorm hostal. It just so happened the hostals I went to did not offer bunks only rooms, but the room was six bucks a night.
I had to say goodbye to the kids today and that was rough. Hopefully I can visit sometime or who knows, maybe another summer. Anyways I think my food is ready so I need to go. I will see all you guys next week sometime. take care, I have to be at the airport by 4:30 so I need to go to bed.

Hey guys, i am in otavalo in the middle of my spanish classes. i usually have four hours of class a day, but today i have 8 hours. (I am not having classes on friday) I have learnded so much and my spanish is improving rapidly. THere is a change of plans for travel though. I am going to go to quito to see if I can get a ticket to the juego de EL Nacional y Barcelona for a cheap price. (This game is a big rivalry.) If I can I will be in 45.000 estadio with other El Nacional fans on Saturday. That is only if I can get it cheap, then after the game I plan to go to Baños. If I can´t work it out then I´ll just go to Baños. But anyways just to give you guys an update. I only have a little more than 2 weeks (muy triste). Oh wait, let me tell you about the family i am staying with. I am staying with a older couple in un barrio in otavalo. Also one of their daughters lives with them along with her son. They are really nice and can be very funny. Anyways I have to go I have another four hours of spanish in, actually right now, anyways hasta luego.

This is just going to be a short one. I have Christian, Jhon, and Jorge at my house. Two guys from Twickenham are here and are staying at Jerry's house. Tonight some of Jerry's family is coming so Jerry can leave for the states on Saturday. (Jerry will be in Huntsville from Saturday to Wednesday.) Also I will go to Otavalo on Sunday afternoon and start spanish classes on Monday. I will leave Otavalo on Friday after classes and then go on to Baños from Friday night and come back to the Hacienda on the next Tuesday. Well that's it from here see you guys later.
