Stranded with $12 to Our Name
... took it from me. But, he got off the bus a minute later at the next stop, and my wallet went with him. The man came around to collect the 2 dollars for the ride a couple minutes later, and that's when I realized what had happened.
Now, all I had in my wallet was forty bucks, a USB stick, my drivers license and my 2 credit cards. A sweet man in front of me let me borrow his phone, so I called my mom and luckily heard her say "Okay, I'll cancel the ...
Sausen durch den Nebelwald
Nach Galapagos gings wieder zurück nach Quito. Wir haben bei der Etna noch eine Woche gebucht. Immerhin sind wir mittlerweile gesuchte Telefunkenmitspieler.

Občas jsme se někde zasekli a museli vystoupit a gumu ...
Cloud Forest in Mindo

I am definitely not enjoying the big cities so much on this trip between the noise, pollution, graffiti etc, so I will be happy to head out of town in a couple of days. My plan is to have some Spanish lessons tomorrow, as I really want to try to interact with the local people and then head off the following ...
