AFTER SOME TIME do I sign up now again from Ecuador: My flight last week was uneventful, I arrived safely from Cochabamba to Santa Cruz and from there to Panama City and then to Quito.
In Quito Henry picked me up from the airport. It was nice to see him after half a year again and funny to meet him in Quito. We spent a quiet afternoon in the capital, slept in the Mariscal tourist area and drove the next morning to the bus station in the south of Quito Quitumbe - not to have pan de yuca without , cassava eaten.
came from Quitumbe from Henry to the return to Cochabamba, I went to the beach where I wanted to recover from travel fatigue and Polly meet. The trip was a little stressful because I did not know whether and I like should I arrive on the same day. In the end I went to Porto Viejo, from there to Jipijapa and finally had a while to take a taxi because no more buses driving.
Nevertheless, I managed to come Sunday night in Ayampe: Polly is the beginning of January there and I had chosen the spot to take a step back before returning to Pucará something. And the goes well in Ayampe: The place is located between the fishing village of Puerto Lopez and the tourists and party stronghold Montanita, right on the beach has to offer, especially surfing schools, yoga instruction, sea and sun. One can do nothing all day long and burn properly on your mood.
One can but wonder, too. So I'm often employed. Most people who live in Ayampe are not originally from there: Many North Americans have settled there and also a German who runs a café there, had met me. Summer, sun, sunshine - drop life pure! It goes good, feels a bit like a big family and is not worried about anything. Why should they? The world is beautiful!
But a drop of life must also be financed somehow. And so does the morning yoga class ten dollars, the three-hour walk five dollars, and a pizza that is tasty indeed but not really special mention, at best, eight dollars. What you have, have not vierlorts: that sell products over the purchase price in order to make profit, is operating here all the more. I think that's right: As long as tourists are willing to pay those prices, the North American or Central European comparison is not particularly high, will it work. I personally have difficulty with this type, however: If I pay for everything with cash needs, I find it somewhat difficult for me at home and thus correct to feel good ...
Tonight I am going to Quito, tomorrow morning I will arrive in Otavalo. There I am going with Stephanie, my mentor, meet and talk about the intermediate seminar to which I am not published, because I did not get the invitation. After it's back to Pucara, where people also got taught well that they can demand money from foreigners and should: North American influence everywhere. Let's see the last months!
The cafe, the Lea from Germany in Ayampe runs, by the way different: For delicious food and teas, there is no fixed price, the store keeps afloat with donations so that the angry mood of the dollar not dirty. It works!
