Hey. Its thursday night and i am back in quito, ecuador. We just flew back here from the galapagos after 5 days on a boat. I got pretty sick for about a day (lots of throwing up - hilary style) and I hurt one of my toes snorkelling and its now VERY purple and possibly broken. Otherwise it was a lot of fun. I can give you more details when I get home in a week. Tomorrow we are doing a tour of Quito (capital of ecuador) and flying to Lima, Peru (capital of peru) in the afternoon. We sleep a night in Lima, but we dont get to see anything because right away the next morning we fly to the machu picchu area for a couple more days. My stomach hasnt been great (in addition to the seasick day and night) but I´ve come to accept that as coming hand in hand with my vacations. I was SOO medicated on the boat. It was awful. I was so groggy from my dramamine overdoses at one point that i thought i was dying. I was on dramamine, tylenol, pepto, this prescription sea sickness patch, and these weird drops the ship´s "doctor" gave to put in my water. I am having a pretty good time, but it sounds like you all are having too much fun at home without me. I have been thinking about going camping when i get home, but i dont think i can if its the weekend of the 30th. So even though I was supposed to have my roomate and room assignment this week, they postponed it to the first week in august. I am pissed. That leaves me 2 weeks to talk to my roomate about what to bring and stuff. When is/ how was the container store sale? What is the news at home? I dont know if i will have internet access for the rest of the week, but I think I will be able to check my email one more time tomorrow (friday) morning if you get this by then. Anyways, you can try and email me at eborenst@tulane.edu Maybe I will get lucky and find more internet in peru, who knows. I miss everybody. Dont work too hard but dont have too much fun.
