... cycling round South America for about 13 months, coming up from the far south of Argentina. He has what many people might call a 'charmed life' in that he owns a house in Sydney and that's what has kept him on the road for the past 6 years. He has been 'home' twice in that time, and when he's done with SA he'll head back there for a while before he takes off for Canada and the States, only this time he's doing it in a van! Good on ya, that's what I say ...

Flying internationally you are allowed 2 bags at 23kg (current at 2009) but domestically only one. So I was in line asking myself how this would go down. Then I started a conversation with the lady behind me. An older woman who appeared to be from the corporate world. Anyway, as she had no luggage to check in, she offered to talk to the checkin lady to get both my luggage through, no problems. But unbeknowns to me the LAN Lady used the Lady’s name not mine.

Tuesday began innocently enough, with ten of us (Boli and Tim were to meet with Hogar de Cristo representatives to discuss furthering our involvement in microfinance and water treatment) heading out to two build sites. We arrived at the "country" Hogar office, and soon after, Team Ivan (so named from the maestro they work with) headed out to the first build site. Team Gato would wait for the homeowner of the second site.

... until he ends up at his last stop and kicks me off. The last stops are always in the ghetto, so i am a little nervous. This city with a population of 2.3 million, (largest in ecaudor) is more modern than Quito. Skyscrappers, shopping centers, pretty girls, and trashier. I do not understand why they cant come up with a more economical way than dumping all the trash at the end of the day into the streets. It is disgusting. The trash men ...

... of my drink without too much interaction. Unsuccessfully. Two different guys and a women all came up and started asking questions. None of them were very frightening, but i had no idea what to say. I answered questions as best as i thought possible, commented to all three about how i liked the Brahma and acted stupid, because I am.

... treeline. We saw lots of really cool looking, gnarled treelike things, mosses, llamas, trout streams, lakes.....pretty spectacular scenery. And, as if this were not enough, we were treated to the Spanish-dubbed version of Tombstone (Kurt Russell, Sam Elliot, etc.) for our in-transit movie. Yes, this was a a real travel coach, not a chicken bus, but it was still only $7 each.

... for all of them! It was an interesting ride for many reasons. The first was that I was sitting in the front seat of the upper level of this bus. Needless to say, I had a very interesting view for the entire ride! A bit difficult to sleep up there because the lights of oncoming cars was continually in my eyes and then when I would open my eyes I would see things like the bus swerving to avoid a group of horses that was for some reason running across the street ...

... Complete surprise en comparaison avec les enormes buildings et rues encombrees du centre, plus gris et bruillant que jamais. Las Penas est constitue de 2 collines surplombant la ville et l'ocean. Une dizaine de rues pietonnes, pavees et joliement colorees s'y enchevetrent. Chaque enseigne est un cafe litteraire, une gallerie d'art ou d'artisanat ...
