7 augustus hebben we rustig aan gedaan. Dat wil zeggen ondergetekende heeft nog 6 uur gewerkt aan het afronden van mijn beoordelingen van mijn werk, terwijl Zwa thuis Doornroosje was. ´s Avonds lekker uit eten geweest. Vrijdag 8 augustus zijn we rustig wezen ontbijten. We zagen nog wat beelden van…

I am swallowed by sleepiness;Yawns eat me alive.Lying like the dead, my body bleeds into the earth,Creating fertile soil.Maybe I will grow a plant hereAnd name it Luna,For the moon is the only force that moves meFrom this very spot which shelters me so.Did I tell you about my friend?-a tree; he die…

Lessons in the morning.  After lunch went in to FRiDAY’S yet again.  In the mall there were budgies in a cage in the sun without any water and I gave the girl who was supposed to be looking after them some information about how to look after budgies.  Must admit, I don’t like bir…

These are photos from my trip to South America in 2009. This section will be about Ecuador. When I get bored or have time I will attempt to write some blogs about my experiences in Ecuador. We went to the following cities: Quito, Otavalo, Mindo, Latacunga, Riobamba, Cuenca, and Loja. It was an amazing country with a very interesting culture.

4 days in Quito, Ecuador!

Well, our trip is pretty much at an end.  Rachel and I are headed back to the US today.  We will have 3 layovers on our flight home including a 7 hour, overnight layover in LAX (recently awarded the worst airport in the world to spend the night!).  We're both sad to be leaving E…

In April 2006, after working my s off, after being in Suriname for 4 months, it is time to take off. Promised a newfound friend to surprise her and travelled terribly to wish her birthday in Quito, Equador while thinking of backpacking for 2 weeks. I made it after tough times with visa. I made her happy and it was worth it.

Checked into Hostal Chicago in the San Blas area. Checked out the old and new towns. New town really wasn't up to much, although if you want to go out, this is where you have to go, being careful not to be mugged of course. Taxis everywhere after dark in this town.We visited the Basilica Voto N…

So after a long day we finally made it to Quito and our Hostel around 10pm, we´re all pretty shattered so we just crash out. The next day we´re up early and have a great breakfast at the hostel and chat to people about different trips we´re looking at doing. We then head in to town and go round …

After almost staying in Otavalo another day because of the peaceful atmosphere, we came to our senses and packed our bags to move on because we really don't have that much time left.In Quito we shared a cab to our hostal with an Israely named Jonathan. There we dropped our bags and then it was off …

Well,  driving around Quito we saw so many little hostels and restaurants.  We ate a great little restaurant and had a nice almuerzo.  Almuerzo is so so inexpensive in Ecuador,  the entire time, we were there too.....  While we were trying to find our way out of Quito, …

The islands lived up to all my "National Geographic" dreams. Nature at its most pure.

A very short, just two days, visit to the city of Quito, surrounded by an amazing landscape and full of history of Spanish exploration and colonization of the americas.

When we first got to Quitumbe, we were greeted by shouts of "Alan, ALAN!!!" After a few weeks, we all decided to answer to this name rather than explain for the millionth time that Alan went back to England. The school was much more well-equipped than the one in the jungle, but their playground…
