Well... i am writing probably my last bit of blog from South America. - as you may know my flights getting me out of here are a bit dodgy, leaving me camping at the airport, hoping someone else also doesnt want to leave Quito, and doesnt show up at the airport!
But i know i will be back!
I have had such good times and there isnt much i can fault about this place. I have made so many friends and good memories, which will leave me with hundreds of stories to tell for many years to come...
I am now back in Quito.. and GOD I LOVE IT! I dont know what it is about this city, but i really like it. Most people come here, and cant wait to leave, its so dirty, noisy, dangerous(saw someone get mugged today) and yet i still adore it. One of the best things here, is that sunday is still Gods day, and everything shuts, and they also close off most of the roads, and only bicycles are allowed on the streets. Then the parks are packed with people, getting pony rides, families picnicing,and always some kind of music festival. Also, its always warm!
AHhh!! I am gonna miss all the randomness of out here, the random horse and cart down the road.. beause they dont have a car, and the cholitas, and men whistling and psst psst-ing at me... and the CHEAP food and cheap everything.
Tomorrow, hopefully i will be arriving in Miami, where i will be staying for a few nights, before hitting Chicago to see family for another couple of days, and then SAN FRANCISCO... scary!
Am absolutly petrified of the Big City... and the US! driving around alone before and after the Burning man is freaking me out a bit... especially if i break down in the middle of nowhere.. or get abducted in a motel like in Dusk till dawn, then get taken to a evil temple and eaten by vampires! ha ha ha!
Anyway.. i will write soon if and when i reach the US and let you know how i am coping!
