En el mitad del mundo

On: Monday, July 6, 2009

So I´ve been here a couple of days. I have a few friends who keep travel blogs who seem to make every entry a 5-page journal of everything they did in the last 24 hours, including sneezing and using the bathroom. I usually fall asleep halfway through. So to keep you reading until the very end, here´s a short list of things I´ve learned since getting here.

-Ecuador may be the 2nd best country in the world (next to South Korea)

-Spanish is a heck of a lot easier than Russian

-If you arrive in a foreign country and no one is at the airport to meet you (like they should have been), panicking does not help

-The US needs more hostels

-Always carry an umbrella

-Living at 10,000 feet makes weather on the equator heavenly. It sucks to be all of you people in UT suffering in 100 degree heat

-Missing the 4th of July for 3 times in the past 4 years is kind of depressing

-Equadorian fruit is amazing

-I´m going to love it here

And for those of you who made it to the end, I have a little present. A picture of me next the Basilica in Quito. Enjoy it.

Scott, not sure why, but I'm siding with your parents! Do be careful, while having the adventure of a lifetime!
Thanks so much for joining us for Patrick's wedding - it was awesome to have you there with us.
Please do, indeed, be careful -

Spanish is way easy eh? I'll believe it when I see it. I'm glad you're blogging for if not I would have to come to Ecuador and hunt you down.

Shouldn´t you be on a honeymoon or something instead of commenting on my blog?

Scott,

Thanks for the update! We look forward to your short yet all-inclusive posts. I know if I needed surgery while I was in Equador I'd certainly want you there to help out.

Good luck and be careful with the girls down there...really, be careful.

Exito,

Nate, Elysha, Hayden
