I´m in Quito with the O and C. it´s great to be with them again and funny as always. quito is a crazy nice city. i´m really glad we decided to come. i had no idea it was going to be like this. it´s beautiful and clean and has a lot going on and the people are really nice and the architecture is really cool. i like it a lot. it feels kind of like a different country from being en el campo though. but equally interesting. this morning we found ourselves in the middle of a giant demonstration trying to get the constitution rewritten and inevitably got teargassed. i miss the farm but this is good too. i´m having trouble thinking of things that would be intersting to put on the blog. it´s ola´s birthday tomorrow (27!!), i bought a watch, i made lots of cool earings with the feathers of a dead mot mot bird that i found on the farm (gross, i know), i might meet up with this boy who went to the UBA last year and lives in Quito, we´re going to Bogota this sunday, eating lots of porridge and funny fruit, getting blisters, writing boring blog posts. basically. send me your addresses and i´ll write you postcards or draw you pictures!

p.s. lots of robberies happen in colombia. do you think i should get some sort of insurance for the month for my camera and ipod. i guess this is directed at the parents. i don´t really know where to look for that stuff.
