more pics

I would like to put more up, but they´re on a computer someone else is using. I´m also going crazy deciding what I´m going to do next...go to Lima to see Fernando, then to Bolivia, or move up north in Ecuador and forget about Lima (which as someone told me "is a hole" - don´t tell Fernando I said that!). I guess the problem with Bolivia is that it is so far from here and my return ticket is from Ecuador...its sort of that I made a deal with myself that I would be in Ecuador. So I´m looking in to volunteer opportunities in Ecuador but most of them are ecotourism/conservation related. And so for a few minutes it sounds coolk - live with an indiginous tribe in the Amazon - and then I read about needing to bring a sleeping bag and bug repellent and a torch and I realize that I am just not a fan of large amounts of time roughing it. And I´ve been to the jungle and it isn´t quite as exotic as it sounds. You hardly ever see cats (which is what everyone wants to see), its humid, there are lots of mosquitos and lots of rain. So then I drop the whole jungle idea and then think of the 60 bus hours it will take to get to Bolivia (plus back) and then the jungle doesn´t sound so bad. Well, the jungle still sounds bad, but Quito sounds a little more appealing. As it is, all I do every day is go to class in the morning, return home for lunch, watch TV and use the internet. And I might as well be doing it in Quito. Since I´m too lazy to go out at night (having no friends helps) the increased danger in Quito feels like less of a factor.

In any case that is all boring for anyone reading this. And things change hourly...sometimes I think that there´s nowhere else I´d rather be than in South America studying Spanish. And at this moment, because I was just looking at photos on Facebook of graduation, I just want this whole experience to be over and to be starting law school already.

I will try to think of more things to say about the Galapagos soon. Of course there was something interesting I remembered when I was at home. But that was a 25 minute walk from here.
