Anyways after crossing the border into our little country, we took the tri rail as far north as she would go, to west Palm Florida. A small bakery company supervisor gave us some snacks and took us to the post office to mail home allot of weight. Then he dropped us at a good spot to catch a ride where we soon did just that and arrived in Jupiter FL. The guy was a Pepsi cola factory worker and his front seat was occupied by a ratty little cute factory stray kitten that he saved. Then we waited around for ever in Jupiter to get a ride in the back of a truck into Stuart FL. The sky was full of big fluffy clouds, like post tropical storm clouds.

So I caught a fever in the morning of the 26 flying from Quito to Guayaquil. Later in the day I had aches and chills in the noisy airport seat bed. Finally the flight left for the states. Promtly after exiting the plane a big shepherd drug dog was on all of us. Then we were stoped by a line of guards checking our pasports and questioning about our trip. Then we walked about a mile it seemed, to end up in an hour long line to check our passports and question us again. Then I had to go to another special room because they could not comprehend how I funded my trip if I was unemployed so they questioned me to the point of me asking why and how these questions have anything to do with anything. Then I went to the next point where the guard continued to ask the same questions again, my head was hurting and body achining and I was rubbing my temples looking down and the guy said look me in the eyes when I'm talking to you boy! Then I replyed raising my voice and looking him in his eyes with hatred. So he sent me to the next point where they strew all of your items out. I was the only one in this line and nobody was attending me so I set my bag down and leaned against it. Instantly the guards yelled at me that this was not a lounge and that I was to stand up. I told him nobody is here, and nobody is behind me so no. Then they told me to put my bags on the counter and to sit in a little blocked off seated area. Then number 5 interogator came and questioned me again on all of my personal buisness. Then they strewed my bag out in front of me. After finding nothing they then had me pat my legs and back to see if I had drugs strapped to me. Then I was told to practice packing my bag. As I was repacking anothe guy (apparently the boss of the guy who strewed my bag out) yelled at me Did they tell you to pack up your stuff!! I looked at him and said yes they did! Then he watched me packing my bag and saw my pocket knife and grabbed it opened it and turned to his guy and said you see this you never know when they could stab you with this This is a weapon. So he said to give me my knife only after I was packed up and leaving. So I got my knife back and went out to meet Kevin who had apparently also been harrassed. But probably not as much due to the lack of fever insanity. So here is famous question they asked Kev: So what do you have all of these blankets for?? Huh?    

So we have made it back into the states!

Alrighty.... We have arrived in Guayaquil, Kevin by bus last night and me by airplane this morning. I ran into a sleeping kevin on a pile of bags in the waiting area. Anyways with some luck we will arrive in Miami tomorrow morning. The plane is suposed to leave at 11:55pm. However, word has it that there is a tropical storm hitting florida pretty well, so we will see how it works. If worse comes to worse we may be stuck here in HOT MUGGY WINDLESS DIEaquil.

Alright, so im sorry for neglecting the blog for some time. Anywho, we made it  to Quito the on the 20th of June. We have just been hanging out here, buying gifts and such to return home. We met up with Alvaro, it was very cool to see him after 6 years. Unfortunately he is very buisy and we couldnt hang out with him much. A strange thing the other day, we were in the plaza and there was a big commmotion. It apparently was the President of Indonesia visiting with the President of Ecuador. I caught on camera them walking out and waving to the crowd. Pretty wild. Anywho i will try to get some pictures on here as soon as i can. I have just been running into tons of problems with the technological things. Anywho there will be pictures to come, maybe i can get the  video of the Presidents on there. So essentially we have like 2 more days down here, our flight back to the States is on the 27 of this month so like 2 days. Then I suppose we will try and use our thumbs to make it back to the Home! We´ll see how it works!

We are leaveing to Quito hopefully today, have yet to get the ticket just about to go do this. Anyways, scratch Cuenca unfortunately, but way cooler, we will meet up with Alvaro Gallegos in Quito. He is a friend we met in highschool, a foreign exchange student we played soccor together. Havent seen him since sophmore year in highschool. Should be pretty wild!

We left out of Montañita yesterday, to arrive in Baños again. We figure we`ll stay here for a couple days, then off to Cuenca maybe. Yo no se.

So here we are in Montanita ecuador now!

These photos are all of Mancora, That big dog is named Bruno, apparently he is the king of dogs in Mancora, it is apparent in the stray dog population too! Anyways from Mancora we traveled to Guayaquil, to find a bus to Montanita, Ecuador!

From Cuzco we traveled to Lima, instantly leaving for Trujillo and Huanchaco for the day then left to arrive in Mancora for our last few days in Peru.
