After too much time, I have put some images up... don't worry more will come. The first two are pictures of my very nice school, similar to laguna beach. And the last picture is a view from the park by my house, parque de la carolina. Everywhere you go you can see mountains.
I'm not sure if I already wrote this, but I ended up not liking my communications class, so I switched to Volcanology. It's the best class ever!
The professor is hillarious and we get to take at least 5 field trips, with a lot more optional ones to different volcanoes around Ecuador!
This weekend I might be going to Otavalo, a market town about two hours away.. it's about $2 for a two hour bus ride... I also still need to see the downtown of Quito!
By the way... tourist guides say that quito is divided in between the new town and colonial town... that's not really reality.. it just makes it easier for tourists to grasp the giant city. "old town" and "new town" are only a small part of Quito.
Hmmm... what else. I've made some Ecuatorian guy friends.. one of them, Alex, gave me and some other girls a ride home from school today which was really nice because i had class until 5:30 and it gets dark by 630 because of the mountains. I'm going to hang out with them tonight, so that'll be fun...
Well, I'll take more pictures and write more tomorrow!
Ciao!

Hi Julie!
Ecuador sounds awesome! I'm totally jealous of your Volcanology class. It sounds really cool - getting to travel to all those volcanoes . . . Keep having fun there!

What a gorgeous campus! I am so happy for you Juliebug! I miss you, but I love your updates. And your adventures are going to be so fantastic! I can't wait to hear about them.
I am also very happy to learn that your host family is wonderful. Anything less and I would have to fly down there and make you...poptarts? Ok, I am not a cook.
