onward forward

plans afoot here in the city of eternal spring and perennial choking. a job has been secured in the small town on baños, ecuador. a highland area, surrounded by volcanoes and jungle. a flat is provided with a roof terrace overlooking the volcano, and a couple of hundred quid a month as well, which is more than enough to live on. average price for a meal is 60p to a pound, and a beer is 40p in a pub, so nae bother.
Mostly the job involves teaching english, but the guy wants help to structure, organise and promote the department there. free spanish lessons are another great bonus.
a pic of the skatpark in quito for those who want to check it>

this is in quito, which is a cheap 4 hr bus ride from baños, where i intend to go at weekends if at all possible. need to skate!!

before that, its some surfing in puerto escondido and puerto angel on the pacific coast. carribbean coast is still a write-off. there´s not much of a beach left from cancun to tulum after the hurricane.
