Another week, another month - se acabo

So what went down this weekend you might ask. It started out bright and early once again Saturday morning at 630am. We hopped on a bus to the Cuicocha, an active volcano that collapsed onto itself many many years ago, forming a lake inside the crater that was formed. More lava then came up, and formed little dome islands in the middle of of the lake. A beautiful site thats for sure.

Saturday evening, before heading out into Dry Quito, i saw a beauty of a sunset from the roof of my apartment. When the sun was no more, I met up with a group of gringos from Oregon to a restaurant we had been eying up for the past month. Mongo's. It's a mongolian grill restaurant that was deeeeliciousa. You pick all the veggies, noodles, raw meats, and sauces that could possibly tempt your taste buds and watch the man fry it up in front of you- yum.

Today after plans got mixed around a bit, i ended up heading to see an Ecuadorian film, Que Tan Lejos (how much farther). It was a great movie about two girls who's paths cross on their way from Quito to Cuenca. It was actually hillarious. It had so much Ecua humor, all surounding little parts of Ecua culture. Since i understood a more than expected amount of the jokes, it made me realize how much i've been soaking in Ecuador without knowing it.

After the movie, the Ecuachicos we were with invited us to 'do a 'bout' (my translation to dar una vuelta)- around El Centro de Quito; the center historical part of the city. I can't believe I haven't been there yet! It was a different city i swear. Cobble stone one way streets, Beautiful colonial buildings and museums, as well as incredibly beautiful churches. We finished up with a drive up the Pancillo, a large hill in the middle of the center, with a huge statue on the top, to get a panaramic view of quito quito quito in all directions.

What a view.

Since when is tomorrow October?
