The U.S. embassy in Ecuador is next door to a McDonalds. I thought my cab driver was kidding when he pointed in that direction and said there is the U.S. embassy. Seems appropriate some how.
I make no new friends when I offer up a $20 bill to pay for a $2.45 meal. Most times some one has to go for change.
At a bakery in Otovalo we bought 35 large bread loaves for $2. My coworker and I joked that we could just buy the store and run it as our business. We decided I would sell crackers and he would sell brownies. This had us cracking up all afternoon.
Cab drivers here drive like 8-year-olds ski in the States. No fear what-so-ever.
I seem to be getting better and better at speaking Spanish in my class and worse and worse on the streets. How does that happen?
Every American I have met this far is traveling for 2-5 weeks. I always take pleasure in saying I am traveling for four months. Then today I met a girl from Cali who said she was traveling for 8 months. I´m not so smug any more.
I took four cabs today. It should have only been two. Either my spanish needs to improve or my knowledge of the city.
I heard an episode of Scrubs playing in the lounge at the hostal today. I immediately jumped in to watch. A group of Brits was watching and knew everyone´s name on the show. Who knew the show was so big outside of the U.S.?

Scrubs is popular, but Stargate SG1 seems to be the show that brings the world together now that Baywatch is gone.
