... Out of breath at 2860 m high

Sup Sup amigos hermosos!

I finally got over the technological barrier and managed to enter to the blog and read all of your posts... which really warmed my heart :) ... it seems like this blog idea is working woo hoo!

Hayls, I wish I could have shared your birthday with you... and as Sam... I share your feelings about birthdays, they don't mean anything without people you love! By the way I sent you something with Sam too... make sure you see him !

I am at home in Ecuador finally, I arrived on Thursday and it is weird, it is good, it is scary, it is exciting, it is sad and it is happy.

Too many feelings, yesterday I kind of wanted to stay in bed all day long thinking about my experience in the U.S. which seemed more exciting than the future... so I did that for a while and then I thought that one more time is about attitude right?. So I organized my room and (after throwing away so many things when I left Willamette) it was impressively easy for me to fill up 3 big bags of things that I realize I don't need anymore.. which felt good.

Ok, I am not telling you many exciting things... but as Hilds says, I wanted to tell you what is on my mind. These last couple of days that I have been back home, it kind of felt like I almost didn't leave, so many things seem the same, and then, I just feel different!

On Saturday it was my niece's "Quinceaniera" party. It was so beautiful, that made me feel good, I was scared that it was going to be too intense to see ALL of my family straight away... but it was lots of fun! I will post a photograph, I would love you to meet my family :) (now on piccie, some day in person hopefully!)

... and Yes... I am so out of breath! This altitude is serious business this days (Heiki, if Montana is high for you... you should give Quito a try) This morning I went to the gym and danced lots of salsa, merengue, and samba! it was awesome but I almost collapse... I was SO red on my face afterwards and I am still feeling tired and it feels like my heart wants to get out of my chest... weird.

Besides that, It feels good to see Quito and the Andes! they are so beautiful. I have also been stuffing myself with fruit and some good granola...it feels so good!

I am not sure about the summer, as for Sarah, it is a bit uncertain for me... I do know I have at least one more year to go at Uni and that I need to work this summer... I will keep you posted!

I can't wait to see you all and in the meantime to hear of your adventures!

Muchos besos y abrazos ricos!
