Quito, Ecuador

Quito is a cool city, lots of creepy old churches and colonial esqu architecture. Also lots of wild statues...it´s also INCREDIBLY cheap, especially since we just left Colombia which was mad expensive. Anton went to the pharmacy today and spent $15 on a bunch of shit, it would have been at least $80 in the states and probably at least $55 in Colombia. Viva Ecuador! Plus their official currency is the dollar, which makes our lives a lot easier. Converting in the thousands in Colombia was getting old...I still miss it already though. Te quiero, Colombia. Te quiero.

I had a bad fever last night and haven´t felt too great all day, but I´m starting to feel better. Needless to say we didn´t do too much today...I slept 14 hours last night and fell asleep this afternoon for another 3. Anton has been taking very good care of me with gobs of vitamins and drugs and water. I´m on heavy doses of anti-malaria medicine (just in case) so I should have some pretty hallucinatory dreams tonight. Hopefully they are good ones about Crooky bear.

The one thing we did do today was go to get lunch...Here is the list of Anton´s consumptions:
-2 Large pieces of sea bass
-Fried Rice
-Mixed Seafood Ceviche
-Beverage made from beer, raw egg, and sugar blended together. (Cerveza de Peru)
-Menudo (Stomach Lining) soup with chunks of liver, kidney, stomach lining, artery, other chunks he was unsure of, blood sausage, and potato.

I had a small bowl of chicken broth with potato and a blackberry juice. Hahahaha. I got nauseated watching him eat the menudo, it was far from ginger friendly.

Our hotel last night was super shitty, the shower faded back and forth between scalding hot and freezing cold, the room was dirty, non functioning tv, and there was a dog and small child and dude using AIM with the bling sound on full blast till fucking late and the sink (Anton´s urinal) was leaking and yeah...it was only $10 but still. Today we found one for $13 that has a good full sized shower (the other one was like a third of a normal size) that is nice and warm and it´s really clean and has a nice firm bed with lots of blankets and also has cable tv. It´s amazing what $3 gets you.

We´re going to do lots of sight seeing tomorrow, and Sunday we´re going to go to a big market. Tomorrow we´re also gonna look for a cockfight, I guess they are big here. Alecia of a year ago would be very disappointed.
