Montanita, mould and surf

Its been 2 weeks in Ecuador now and things are fairly great. Aside from being dibilitated for a few days with some kind of stomach bug (caused by eating a mouldy pizza) and getting shoved about by some old drunk in Quito its been cool. Currently trying to pick up some spanish at the local school here in Montanita along side some surfing at the local beach. Had a coupla mad bus journeys, one through the Andes with a spanish Jean Claude Van damme film on full blast and the other was packt like sardines in a tin…

The choice of food here is amazing and its all really cheap. Fruit and milk smoothies available on the roadside and fresh fish and produce being peddled around on bicycles by the local fishermen and farmers. I have been doing some sampling on a small panasonic distaphone but I fear the quality will be fairly shite. I suppose i can mix it up with other sounds to make the most of it. Every day I get woken up by the next door neighbours rooster and turkeys so I am gonna try and get a good shot of them before I move on. The people here are really friendly and I have met some like minded folk which is cool. There are a litter of puppies and kittens next to where we are living, altogether now…ahhhhhh.

Saw two dogs mating and they were stuck together which was a bit weird. Will be heading in the direction of the jungle on saturday ..

    What breed were the dogs? It’s for research, honest.

    One dog was big and one dog was small and in pain. Thus ends my knowledge of dog breed

    Did a bit of research on the dog-shag/perma-fix scenario. Actually, I asked this homeless Guy that had a really clever dog, and he said that it was the ‘dismount’ process which causes the stickage. (Mind you, we’ve all been there eh?)

    Eye we certainly have! good werk on the research like, dismounting is a critical thing. By homeless Guy do you mean some time when yer kicked him out..
