wow. time could not possibly go by any faster. didn´t i just blog yesterday? I got back from Chimborazo and slept as i said...then all i remember next is getting on a bus with Alicia and Jack to Baños. I like Baños for some reasons...like it´s beautiful, it´s small and cute, there´s tons of stuff to do. But i also don´t like it because it´s SUCH a tourist town and really, if you want to insult me, call me a tourist. I hate the stereotype and the worst part is the stereotype is mostly true of foreigners here...the huge backpacks, MEC clothes, camera at the ready, holding an ice cream cone, and looking very lost and confused. i´ll just take the ice cream thanks.
So Baños. we slept a lot, HA! like our favorite hobby. we laughed a lot. Went horseback riding....for 4 hours! ouch. it looks so comfortable on tv! maybe i just do it wrong but man oh man. im pretty sure we got suckered into a tourist trap when planning on going to a spa for massages. we paid the lady at the tour company because she said she got a ¨discount¨. I never felt right about it and really i think she pulled in a pretty good profit. oh well...still less than 50% the cost of one in canada. and now i know for next time....and i´m warning all of yall!!
It was hard to leave Al and Jack at the bus station on monday when i was returning to Riobamba. Although it still hasn´t really sunk in yet that i may not ever see these amazing girls again. nope. still hasn´t sunk in.
This morning we had our summer tutoring program again...i really dont like missing out on them! the kids are all so much fun. and now...im preparing to leave for the beach for a few days. and i am SO stoked! although...it´s so crazy because when i get back on sunday, it´s goodbye Riobamba, goodbye Ark, goodbye Street Church, and off to Quito. I can hardly believe it. trying to take this all in one day at a time and soak in my last few days here. hopefully i´ll have time to blog once or twice more before i come home.
trusting in God and resting in his peace, Daniela
