my week at a glance

Each day this week, on top of the usual workload and planning, I had other errands, classes or meetings to attend. It's been rather exhausting. Unfortunately, my weekend plans do not include relaxing.

Yesterday I went to buy my ticket to the Juanes concert. He's playing at Estadio Atahualpa, the olympic stadium downtown. I'm psyched. It was unusual though, because the place to go buy tickets is a department store. When we arrived there, we were a bit confused but followed the crowd and saw the line forming at a register downstairs. It all worked out.

In a few minutes I'm meeting up with my expedition crew to discuss the details for our weekend--ascending Cotopaxi, the second highest peak in Ecuador. It's going to be intense and I hope I can make it all the way. I'm going with Felim, Phil and Mike; I should be able to keep up with the boys...I'm pretty tough. Though, I've never done such an extreme hiking trip. Granted, it'll only be one night/day, but geared up in many layers of warm clothes, cramp ons for my boots, and ice pick in hand. It'll be an adventure, that's for sure--and is one of the things I most wanted to do while I am here. So let's hope it all goes well, and actually happens. Currently the weather report for tomorrow is okay, but if anything changes, the hike will not be possible.

Cross your fingers for me!
