Ecuador

Hey everybody, whats up.
Right now I´m in the town of Otavalo, Ecuador. They are famous for their Saturday morning markets so I decided to stop over here to check it out before heading even more north to Colombia. But, I just got here and the only thing I´ve done is taken advatage of the cable t.v. in my hotel room. Is that wrong? I´ve also walked around a bit. And I bought and ate a cookie.
Hopefully tomorrow I´ll go on either a bike tour or a hike around the lagoons around here. It all depends on whether or not I find another person to do it with me. So, I´m just killing time before I go back and check to see if the tour agency has found another person.
Anyway. Quito was nice. I stayed with my stepmom´s family. It was nice to sleep in a home and eat home-cooked meals for a change. I met up with some friends that I had met in Montañita who were also in Quito and together we visited the ¨middle of the world¨ (i.e. the equator), which incidentally is about 240 meters off of where the actual equator is. But it´s the thought that counts, right? I also took a night tour of the colonial part of Quito. I saw all the churches lit up and from a nice viewpoint above the city. Then the next day I visited them by day. All in all, Quito is a nice city.
That´s about it. I´m anxious to get to Colombia!!!!
