HA

Besides the mountain climbing experience yesterday...nothing exciting has happened.

Otherwise, here are some good stories and random thoughts:
-I rode in a taxi the other night that was driving me 90 kilometers per hour down the city streets of Quito. It was intense.
-Last night, I rode in a taxi that didn´t have brakes and the driver was using the emergency break to slow down and stop.
-My host mom is very funny. She tried to save a handicapped bird that was tied up on the street yesterday. It turns out the people who had it tied up were going to eat the pigeon for dinner...so she left it to be.
-I told my teacher today that I needed to wash my car and my mom. I really need to get these verbs straight.
-I rode on a bus the other day that was so crowded the doors wouldn´t shut.
-I eat rice everyday.
-A week from Sunday, I´m going on a 59 hour train ride across the country with my friend Colton. Some people tell me we are crazy for spending 59 hours of our lives on a train. I beg to differ.
-I attempted to put some videos on YouTube for you to see, but the files are too big and I can´t do it here. Once I get to a better computer, I will do that.

I will be back in the United States on Tuesday! My time here has gone by fast. Even thought I´ve met a ton of people, I´m excited about seeing everyone next week!

Until next time, Zach will leave it at that.
