Space Balls


Hi all!
To those of you I haven't been in touch with for a while, I decided on a
spare of the moment I'm going away to south America, so as you can imagine I
had one hectic-last minute-week.
I landed in Quito 2 days ago. I was picked up from the airport by Veronica,
my sister's nanny's daughter (sounds like a phrase taken from Space Balls
:-) ). Veronica is taking excellent care of me, got me an hotel, showing me
the city and doing all so I won't be left alone.
Taking 5 lessons of Spanish before I went out was probably the best idea
ever, since all I do all day long is speak Spanish! (if you can call it
that...) haven't met any travelers yet!. Poor Veronica, has to deal with my
mixture of Spanish-French-English and even Italian! which is strange since I
don't even speak Italian!. It is tiring, when will I remember to pronounce
the entire word and not come out with French words I haven't thought of for
at least 7 years??? My teeth are definitely a few millimeters shorter...
The lonely planet, had the word 'rape' to many times to my liking...which
made me ponder where can one get a chastity belt these days? then I switched
to thoughts of where can I hide a dagger, a cleavagey one seemed quiet
appealing ;-)
In two hours I'm going to 'the middle of the world' (aka the Equator) and I
have the option of going the the jungle for frogwatching and spearshooting.
Maybe I should work on my Spanish...
Well, wish me luck, and to you as well!
