Bye bye baños....soon

The weather here has taken a turn for the better. at last!
Work has been quite good, with the classes rather more organised and all. They´re a great bunch of students, and it will be sad to move on again.
Spanish classes have been going very well, and It´s amazing how much they can teach you in such a short period of time...being immersed in the language outside the classrom helps as well of course!
skateboarding has returned to my life, alongside a fresh set of tendons, which I bought off a guy in Quito.
We finished building the grind box and fly off, and a new flt off with a manual pad is underway to complete a fun box idea. Cant seem to buy a new board anywhere tho...this guy in a shop had FAKE flip boards...light as a feather and only two thick plys made out of the worst wood ever. I though he was kidding me. I asked him if he could get new boards in and he said that, in 15 days, he could. "will they be fake as well?" I enquired...."yes" came the reply. Oh well...

Off to the amazon this weekend for some fun in Puyopongo...how exotic does THAT sound. Its my 2nd favorite name next to riobamba!
