Week Five: Relaxing in the Valley

Week 5
We had an uneventful week (thank god and hence the lack of picture) of classes, relaxing, and taking advantage of hot showers. On Monday we got back to Cuymbaya around 4. I had a hot shower and then took a long nap. I met up with Karli and Henry at Sabai (our favorite brewery) for a while and we played pool and actually ended up meeting some other exchange students. Tuesday we had no classes. Me and 6 other people met up at a really cool outdoor Italian restaurant for pizza and mojitos for lunch. Afterwards, we went over the university to meet up with a few more people so we could plan our spring break trip to Patagonia. Henry, Karli and I spent the rest of the afternoon/evening at the pool. On wednesday we had an uneventful day of class. On Thursday night a few of us went to Sabai before meeting with the rest of the group at a club downtown. On Friday after class we played volleyball for a bit at the university and then I went to bed at 8:30. On Saturday about 9 of us went into Quito and shopped around at a market,  hung out in a park, and got dinner. We then came back to Cuymbaya and spend that night hangin out at a restaurant/bar/convenience store next to the university. Today (Sunday). I slept in for only the second time on this entire trip and then spent the majority of the day with Karli and Henry studying by the pool. This next week we have class Monday thru Thursday and on Friday at 6am we are leaving for our two week trip to Tiputini Biodiversity Station in the Amazon. We also have our final Spanish exam on Wednesday and then we are done with Spanish class.
