in the middle of the world

i`ve realised that the language of this blog needs to be altered. my complete confusion in languages can not get any worse, and since we no longer use this language where we are now my recent learning of new words in english would be a total waste if not.

Therese and me have arrived in Quito, Ecuador, where we are spending the next 6 months. we have already discovered the amazingly tasty icecream in this city, and yes, there is churros..

anyway, before all this new encounters we had to leave behind costa rica..

I cannot really say i have a detailed story to tell about the last week in quepos, but what i do remember is that we were at the beach. and because of all this doing nothing our spanglish became more or less fluent.

some of us did some surfing.

this americano said he only knew three americanos who spoke better english than me.

Lory did some random planning for our trip the next week.

Ryan learned Therese how to do sudoku. she had such a talent that when we waited for the plane to ecuador she did one in ten minutes. who would´t time a sudoku!

in between all this beaching we went to a fiesta con toros one night. im afraid there is no pictures of the bulls but i did get a rather nice one of the entertainment before. someone sayd; this would never pass in united states. but even so it was enjoyable.

and then we left. we wrapped up all our luggage in the car, left our hich-hiker in Quepos due to lack of space, and didnt stop untill we reached the crocodile-river.

Til panama til panama!

and of course, we drove to panama! :D the bridge between the countries. on the border to panama, a picture of us who travelled together. Lory from Switzerland, Therese and me, and Joshua from South Dakoda. before we headed to ecuador we spent a day in Alajuela. last night in costa rica, i was not at all prepared to leave. a desperate try to fit everything into one backpack and the realisation that we did not see a single turtle while there.
