Well, apparently I CAN recieve letters/packages. Jill recently recieved a package but it was just sent to Wall Street instead of her home. So here is my address...

I reccommend using certified mail (or any other type of mail that makes it hard to steal) from FedEx or any other International mail carrier.

MY COMPLETE ADDRESS:

SRTA Alyssa Ray

Av. del Estadio 1-130 y Roberto Crespo Toral

Time to say goodbye to Christian! All of us go to a nice restaurant for dinner. This was a nice note someone left on the wall.  

All the Wall Street teachers, lab instructors and receptionists. Christian is on the far right with his arms around his girlfriend/fiance Karla. Soon he'll be heading back to California.  

The Pilsener Cup. LIGA (Quito, the capital of Ecuador) v. DEPORTIVA CUENCA. This is my first professional soccer game. I end up sitting with the enemy--Liga--because my friend is from Quito. Never have I seen so much craziness at a game. In the end, Cuenca won, 2 to 1. You can imagine, by the passion here, the extreme state of depression the Liga fans entered once their team lost.  

Quito fans put on their own pre-game show by lighting sparklers and fireworks right in the middle of the crowd. Throughout the game I think I may have heard 15 different Liga chants (the name of the team from Quito). Some of these involved running up and down the bleachers together, pushing everyone down in the meantime. Good times.  

...more pre-game show... 

Torches hand-made for you by passionate Liga (Quito) fans.  

...and still pre-game show.  

Let the games begin...Cuenca in Red, Quito in White.  

Quito scores and the fans go NUTS. Everyone screams, chants, yells and runs to the bottom of the bleachers to jump up on the fence and cheer on their team.  

Armed Police Squad separate the Cuenca fans from the Quito fans.  

Cuenca fans to my right...I sit with the enemy. 

Fans leaving the main entrance of the stadium.  

Stands all around the stadium cook kabobs and other popular food.  

Happy Cuencano fans still pouring out of the stadium.  

A post-game party...salsa dancing at La Mesa before, and now a late night campfire at a local park. Anything goes in Ecuador.  

The beginning of our campfire.  

I'd rather be in bed. 

Roberto helping himself to my camera. Not feeling too camera shy.  

Warming by the fire.  

Alex, Sharon, Jorge, Sebastian, Jill, Me, Alvaro and two people who's name I forgot. 

Welcome to Cojitambo.  

A Sunday afternoon at Cojitambo. Alvaro took me, Jill and Agi on a little excursion up this mountain which contain ruins. We climbed up the cliff on the left (I think that's the cliff).  

Beautiful view from the top of the cliff.  

Alvaro, Jill and Me.
