All -
I want you to know that am safe and well and happy and so on and so forth...
I made it to Manta without a problem. When the plane lifted off in Quito I was laughing and crying at the same time... YAY!
I'm staying with Linda, the 64 year old. She's sweet, but talks altogether too much. Whew.
All is well. Tomorrow I will meet a school principal to look into job teaching opportunities - I met a guy named Walter through CouchSurfing, and he is kindly taking me to the school.
At sunset today I was practicing tightrope walking on the beach in a tank top. At about 9pm I got the goosebumps... Heh.
The water is tepid and lovely. I talked to the founder of a kitesurfing school today. We'll see if I take lessons. That would be awesome.
Dinner was $1.75. Big plate of rice and beans with grilled chicken and... get this... cow udder. Yes, I did eat it. It was a thin slice of meat, like a slice of ummm banana. The flavor was much better than the chicken (which was good!) If I didn't know it was cow udder, I would eat a whole lot more of it. Life is interesting.
Pooped.
Love you so much,
Rose
