What a mess. After trying for almost a week to integrate into the Colegio Tecnico de Yachana, I couldn't stay any longer. I am back in Quito, planning out my next move. Today will be full of e'mails and maybe a visit to the 'South American Explorer's Club.' I know, it sounds like it would be a bunch of brits in safari gear preparing to go hunt some indigenous tribes, but I hear it is helpful place for connections, ideas, maps, etc. I have one contact near mount chimborazo (the farthest terrain from the center of the earth), training guides in english so that they can better interact with their clientele. That sounds like a great idea, but i'm not sure if they are still taking volunteers and I also don't want this to end up like Yachana. I wish I had more interesting things to report, but I haven't really done anything yet meriting the creation of this blog. Let's hope that changes soon.
