Rio Muchacho

Thursday, I met with the staff of Yanapuma at their office in Quito to discuss a sustainable development internship the first 3 months of next year and also to share in the traditional celebration of Dia de los Muertos by preparing then drinking a purple juice called "colada morada" along with bread in the shape of dolls called "guaguas de pan." Afterwards, we went for dinner, live jazz and good conversation at a nearby restaurant.

Friday and yesterday I traveled with the other students from Quito to the farm where we'll be taking an organic agriculture course for 4 weeks. Today we had a short introductory class, then the rest of the day off at the beach in Canoa, where there's internet access. Strange that we're at the equator at sea level and the temperature is still cool.
