Well, I´m here ... Staying with a host family who seem to live on a motorway intersection, so not the most peaceful or sleep-inducing of places. The family are lovely though, very welcoming. Suffering a bit from lack of sleep and slight altitude sickness but happy to be here. I appear to have private tuition for my language classes as the others are beginners, so that´s pretty lucky! Thinking of signing up for a couple of trips this weekend, one to Cotopaxi National Park (Cotopaxi is the highest active volcano in somewhere: South America? the World?) and the other to Lake Quilotoa. Maybe I´m being a bit ambitious ...
Everyone has been warning us how dangerous it is here. Apparently we have a six o´clock curfew, which is when the criminal underworld comes out of hiding, and we should take taxis everywhere, and never walk around alone ... !
