Well, it has happened again, this is my first day of school. It's Deja Vu all over again. I have signed up for six weeks of classes for six hours a day. Should be pretty intense. I am in Quito right now, and even though it is very near the equator, it is quite cool because of the high elevation. I hope that I will be able to see some of the country and learn a lot of spanish.

Well, unfoturnaly my Mexican adventure did not last as long as I was hoping that it would. I am sorry to all of my new Mexican friends, but Acapulco is not the place for me. It doesn't help that I have been sick 4 times in the past 4 weeks. My advice, don't eat everything that is put in front of you. I think that they should change the name of Acapulco to Montezuma.

The best part of Tamarindo, low tid...

Well, here I am in Costa Rica, and the adventure has just about got underway. I heard a really stupid but funny joke on the plane. This guy said "I have a new kind of watch, it is an altimeter. You breath into it and you can see how high you are." Stupid, but laughed and laughed at that one. I'll tell you all about Costa Rica in my next post card.
