once on here i said that it rains in quito but never pours. that was incorrect.

a beautiful day full of adventures and historic center venturings and watching friends play basketball and delicious food. that's chapter one.

chapter two. a friend and i begin the walk home, more or less a 45 minute venture total for me because we walk to his house and then i walk to mine. three minutes after we leave the rest of our friends at the warm and cozy quicentro, a very modern, very large mall, the rain begins, and not the normal splashing friendliness with the sun still shining through.

cars splash us, i worry about my ipod and school stuff i have on me. my friend has a rain jacket and of course i do not. i get to his house expecting the rain to simmer down but not. it only gets worse. so i decide to start the trek home, borrowing his umbrella he left at home. his umbrella went inside out on three separate occasions and by the time i got home it really didn't matter if i stepped in the newly formed puddles or not, my feet were sloshing around in my shoes anyways.

i guess that's my two chapter adventure of the day. life is good.
