Not much to update, but I wanted to let people know I got here safe.
The flight was fine, other than being like two hours late so we didn’t get to the hotel until 2:30 a.m. last night, then had to wake up around 7:30.
Some blurbs I wrote down:
No matter how much I fly, I’m still fascinated by staring out the window–everything seems to small and irrelevant, and those housing communities seem even creepier.
I read my horoscope in the airport in Atlanta. It talked about living on the edge, but not other people’s edge. I have to find my own unique edge, but not get too close to the edge. It was both amusingly ridiculous and surprisingly accurate considering that I’m in Ecuador.
On the flight I watched Benjamin Button and totally cried while sitting next to an 8-year-old who was giggling at Yes Man the whole time.
When we got off of the plane in Ecuador, we had to wear masks over our noses and mouths, evidently because of the swine flu epidemic. Americans are a threat to Ecuadorian national security and the health of the country. It was all a big joke because everyone just took them off as we stood in line for over an hour waiting for customs. Then they legit took our temperature with some kind of temperature-sensing device.
A picture for your amusement:
