Excitement!

So, as I finish 5 or so different assignments this Friday in Saturday, I will be patiently waiting for the novio to come on Saturday night :) The following Saturday, my parents and my bro arrive! 

I will be sooo busy in the next 2 weeks, which is exciting, and also a little stressful, but totally worth it. I plan on going to La Mitad del Mundo a couple of times, the Teleferico (which I haven't done yet... yay!), the Centro Historico, and some other day trip things like Otavalo and Papallacta.

This past weekend we went to Papallacta on a group trip, which was really fun! We went on a hike near a river with lots of waterfalls for about an hour or so, and then swam a little in the freezing cold river followed by the hot springs. Some of them were way to hot to get into right after going in the river, but there were a bunch with all different temperatures, so we went for one that didn't make us feel like we were being stabbed with a million needles when we got in. 

We had a good lunch of cheese & potato soup and trout, with a really good chocolate cake for dessert, and then headed home on the bus. I drifted in and out of sleep listening to music, and then someone realized that outside it was SNOWING! I believed seeing snow on a super tall volcano, but we were just driving along towards Quito... so it was a little strange :)

Anyways, I'll attempt to update while visitors are here, but I might be out having TOO MUCH FUN! Yaaaaay :)
