tomorrow i go to the middle of the world, whatever that means (answer: the equator). there will be music and a couple equators and museums and quichua studying.

today i realized what has fascinated/terrified me most about ecuador and how important this part of the culture is to them and me. it's what i've already talked about, how terribly close my family and apparently most families are. right now this seems like a good idea to study for my directed independent study. today my family ate dinner at the dad's friend's house and i found myself envisioning having random and frequent dinners with friends to help fulfill my life in the future.

25 roses costs $1
3 scoops of terrific ice cream with whipped cream-$2.75
a visit to the reptile vivarium-$2.50

i have the coolest brother ever (in my experience with them).

i found my own personal cure for homesickness, writing! so you may be correct if you stumbled across the idea that the more i write, the more homesick i am (a thought i just had that very well may be wrong).
