last nights in Tonsupa


Buying the ticket to leave Tonsupa and head to my next destination early felt good. I leave tomorrow evening to Manta on an overnight bus ride, and can´t wait. Until then, I am trying to have some fun here by going out in the evening and playing some sports with the locals. Well, you have already read about the dirty volleyball experience, so I kind of gave up on the sport thing. But, we did go to a neighboring village called Altecames, where I am now in the internet cafe. There is a bit more life here but the constant rain and wet environment sometimes thwarts my efforts to do some things outside. Still, went to the clubs on the beach where I drank and bit and danced last night. I went with another volunteer from Germany who has been here for 10 months and dating a local Ecuadorian guy. There are a couple of volunteer girls who have found Ecuadorian boyfriends, and sad to say that they have consistently been ugly guys, baffeling.
Anyway, it was fun to be around some life on the beach. To get there we took a motortaxi and hitched a ride in the back of a truck and did the same to return. Oh, and did I mention it was pouring most of time?! UGH!

Gosh...I'm sorry it's constantly raining. That sucks. Sounds like you're making the most of it, though. Keep on dancing! Meeting other travellers will definitely be some of the best highlights of your trip. Take care!--Shani
