Blogging

Yes, yes I have decided to start a blog. I figure it is the best way to keep anyone interested updated on my adventures. Please bare with me, for I have never written anything like this before. I`m not sure if this is meant to be journal type thing or what. I guess I´ll just make it up as I go along.

I have now been in Guayaquil for just under a week. It is been ass kicking fun. Last weekend a bunch of us headed out to the beach of Playas for Easter weekend. I got a ride from an AIESEC alumni down the coast. We traveled in the back of a Jeep, not the most pleasant ride I´ve ever had....cramped in the back, I felt like we were being smuggled somewhere. Since it was Easter there was a MASSIVE church service in the town. The church was so packed that the doors were open and there was about 200 people crowding around the doors. Playas was nice, but we decided to check out Salinas, the Santa Monica of Ecuador, because Diana`s uncle lives near by in the small fishing town of Anconcita. We hitched hiked from Playas to Salinas and walk around the Malecon before grabbing dinner and giong dancing. I got so sunburnt, the worst in my life. In hindsight, I realize it was probably because I didn´t give my body time to acclimatize.

Life`s been pretty sweet here in Ecuador. Living and enjoying the moment. The only mishap to date was the delayed arrival of my luggage. La Vida

Ladies - embracing the detours.

abrazos y besos,
