Well that not really true, nnot really even a little bit, but we are done classes. In a couple hours we catch a bus with 14 other gringos to the rural town of Otavalo. Its bound to be a party tonight. Every Saturday people from all over the country side pour into Otavalo for a market of mamoth perportions, and we are going to witness the spectacle and maybe pick up a few souveniers. We we be leaving Quito (for good?) in a couple days here. We will visit Mitad del Mundo (centre of the earth, the REAL equator line) and after head to a place called Mindo. Mindo is supposed to be one of the best places in ecuador to experience the natural cloud forrest. Hiking and mountain biking is very popular there.
The last couple days has been marred by a slight stomach illness but we have managed to get out and see several churches, museums and we even took a salsa class ( the whole R&R thing hasn´t really materialized yet, there are too many exciting things to do). I am hoping to spend my B-day relaxing in Mindo. I am really looking forward to the possibility of hiking.
Sorry, no pictures today. Maybe I´ll upload some from this weekend next time I get on a computer. Anyway, thats all for now, we´ve got to catch a bus.
Cheers,
Clay

Hola chica!
Ok so thats where my spanish language knowledge ends. Sorry I didnt get a chance to see you before the big trip. Though I look forward to hearing of your adventures while you are away! What an amazing opportunity. Hopefully you enjoy every minute, get that much needed R&R, avoid any major stomach bugs (a few minors ones are to be expected).
Cheers,
Meghan
