I´ve been in Quito on my own for 5 days, and while it´s been nice to have my own space and have time to myself, I have missed the company of my fellow volunteers. Yesterday I had a nice dinner and visit with some relatives that live here in Quito, and another couple visiting from home. It was great to connect with them. Quito is a fine city as far as cities go, but I´m not a big fan of cities. I´ve wandered around a lot, seen the cathedrals, the parks, the shops, etc. but I´m really looking forward to leaving the city and getting started on my next project.
Tomorrow morning I fly to San Cristobal, where I plan to stay for the next month. I am eagerly anticipating spending time on the beaches (on weekends, most likely after hard weeks of chopping down invasive blackberry bushes with a machete) and observing the wildlife that I´ve heard so much about. I am less excited about the heat and the mosquitos, but from what I hear, it will be worth it. (So far the bugs have been nothing compared to Manitoba mosquitos and NW Ontario black flies but I´ve been warned excessively about mosquitos on the Galapagos...so we´ll see). I´m not sure when I´ll next have internet access, but I will post when I can.
