it is hard to put the last couple of weeks into words. so much is and has been happening. went for a beautiful hike, de-furred and gutted a cuy, finished up language training which left a void that
has been filled by the most boaring lectures ever. to top that off they dragged us to a dam the other day that apparently produces 35 percent of ecuador´s electricity... and i´m sure destroyed countless species´ habitat... there was just a tiny stream trickling out below the dam. so much of natural resource conservation.
just spent a few days in cuenca. it´s is quite pretty but also not at all like anywhere else i´ve seen in ecuador, meaning very touristy. some of the group ran a 15k, that i didn´t even attempt because even though i´m not smoking, my lungs just can´t get used to the altititude. took a few hot showers and ate tasty food... even made it to a gay club (homosexuals have more fun).
i guess we have a few more days of the most useless training ever, and then back to quito to swear in. i can´t wait to get to my site and start a garden! i did make and consume a delicious salad just prior to saying goodbye to my caymbe host family. i will miss them.
hanging out with the group is becoming more and more fun, but simultaneouly more difficult as we beging to seperate. we´ve been playing rediculous games that apparently you are supposed to play in college, but i skipped. let´s just say i won. also i´ve started a journal of hilarious quotes, por ejemplo, the title above.
hopefully when i get to my site i will be able to post more photos, they can say the thousands of words i am leaving out.
