everyday surely is an adventure.
we started this morning laying in hammocks reading. Al studied Spanish while I read about quantum particle and 2012. haha. I love it. The sun was wonderful. From the rooftop terrace we saw a market below so went down to investigate. It was indegenous people selling their goods. I am amazed by the beauty of the crafts here.

On the way back to the hostel, we were accosted by a man trying to sell us candy. He kept blocking me and would not let me pass. Then he grabbed my arm and was being forceful. I brushed him off and walked away unharmed. We have also been followed a little bit by creepy men. We are having some tough encounters but so far no real damage has come of them.

We are engaging more in being careful about what we do, where we go, and really what we consume. We are definitely learning every day.
I can also tell my Spanish is becoming more comfortable and coming more naturally everyday. thank goddess. ha

We have spent a lot of time walking and exploring the city. I have seen a lot of socialist, communist, and anarchist graffiti. Also a good deal of feminist graffiti, mujeres de la frontera. its awesome and refreshing.

Today we had lebanese food for lunch. I had falafel. haha. it tasted ecuadorian.

We got new roommates this morning. They are two girls from San Francisco who are also going to WWOOF. They are really nice. Then this evening we met another housemate who is also WWOOFing. It turs out she is working on the farm where we are going on Monday. She has raved about it. She will be there for another week. She is staying with a family whereas Al and I are going to stay in the farmhouse. I really can´t wait until we get to the farm. I think it will be a better phase of our journey. I need that connection with the earth. not the pollution burning my eyes. I need to encounter mountain dirt, not be accosted by aggressive and creepy men.
The farm is on a big hill-mountain and we will be on the farmhouse right below it. the house where the family lives is a 30 to 45 minute walk. We will eat breakfast on our own I suppose., then work on the farm. Eat lunch on the farm. and I think we will eat dinner with the family. I am glad we will be walking so much in the beautiful countryside.
We have walked a whole lot in the city. Our hostel is up a really steep street. Solano. Oh, there is a street here called Jorge Washington. haha. It is really interesting to see the cultural influences, especially from the States.


So I was going to post pictures but I can´t because there is no USB connection on this computer. Only floppy disk and CD hahh. I will try on another tomorrow I reckon


LOVES TO YOU!!!
