Quito it is, apparently

So, today I finished my project with a solid performance from my group of kids. The music class is set to evolve into a regular club, to continue what I started, which is AWESOME.

Onto the update. We´ve decided to move to Quito and do tings here. We found an affordable homestay that would start in the 2nd week of September, and there´s a cool organization that does lots of great work with street children, which sounds really cool. We´re back at Casa Bambu right now, and 2 of our friends from the last time are still here, which is nice, and we met another person today who reminds both of us INCREDIBLY of our good friend Mikey McSnortSnort. It´s actually scary.

I plan on taking it easy for the next few days at least until I KNOW I´m fully adjusted to altitude. The things I said recently about being 100% healthy jinxed me...I have a little bit of some chest congestion going on right now, so I definately want to take care of that.

I´m really glad to be FAR from Santo Domingo right now. It was one of the most depressing of all cities, and there was nothing worth going there for, except we had to for our food. We did see Batman there though...

We got back to Bua VERY early on Friday morning, and on Saturday there was a whole lot of hooplah going on...until the wee hours of the morning,and we actually decided to go to Santo Domingo just to get away from the drunks who were still awake and drunk at 7 am blasting music...ugh...

That´s over now. The last week in Bua wound up being a lot of fun...Michelle bought a rainbow Tsa´chila skirt, which makes her pretty happy, and I had my performance.

I´m happy to be back in Quito now.
