Good news

Well, the collection permits finally came through, so the project is a go! Also, yesterday I went to visit the rental car, and we picked out a pretty decent pickup truck with a raincover over the back and AC, so I´m quite happy.

Yesterday Santy and I went to the Canadian embassy in Quito. He dropped off his visa application and I went upstairs to register. It was a complicated matter and I couldn´t figure out how the fancy security cards worked. As well, the lady forgot about me in the consulate booth, so I had to go looking for her. Ah!

After our errands, Santy and I went out for a familiar lunch at his favourite pizza place. It was pizza made with a cheese made in a small Ecuadorian town using European technology. Delicious!

My cold is starting to go away and I have more energy. Just getting ready to go!

Today I´m off to get the rental car and visit USFQ. Tonight I think I´m going out with Santy and his friends.

Ciao!

That's awesome news! A little more weight off the shoulders I expect? Told you it would all work out!

Hope you had fun on your night on the town! Say hi to Santy for me ;).
