"The Tar Heels are off to a 7-0 start for the first time under Williams and the first time since the 1998-99 squad began the season 8-0." And I can`t find any of the games down here. Ugh!
People say it`s a small world. With some of the views I have seen here in Ecuador, I feel very small while the world seems huge.
Ecuador is a beautiful country. The landscape and the people are a treasure. Visit and spend some time here.
Latino time isn`t a U.S. phenomenon.
I never drink coffee in the States. I have it almost every day down here though. It doesn`t really taste any better (I`m guessing). But each day seems to beg time to just sit and have a cup. With lots of milk and sugar.
People here don`t seem to care if I am from the States. I get the same reaction as travelers from Canada, England, Germany, France. It`s humbling. But it also makes me feel good I am not getting a negative reaction.
I have resorted to wearing the same t-shirt a couple of days in a row. I tell myself it will cut down on my laundry. I make sure to do a sniff test first though.
I am paying $5 a night for a hostal room here in Loja, Ecuador. Five dollars. I almost argued that the Lonely Planet said it would be $4. I think I am hitting a new low in how cheap I am.
Those little devices on shower heads that supposedly warm up the water before releasing it in the cheaper hostals only turn the water from freezing cold to cold.
I am not looking forward to Peru`s money. I like being able to use dollars in a foreign country. It`s so easy.
