Just enjoying life!

Everything is wonderful here - absolutely wonderful!  With my move and change of schedule, I have had much more time to spend with friends, explore Quito, and do the things that make me happy.  That being said, while I haven't taken any big trips in the past few weeks, I have had some wonderful times here in Quito - taking a day trip to Mitad del Mundo, hiking and mountain biking in Parque Metropolitano (the HUGE park right by my house), trying out many new restaurants throughout Quito, going to several birthday parties of my new family members, moon-light rock climbing, and even beginning to train for a half-marathon in May in Peru!!  Plus, my parents come in 10 days!!!!  Things could not be any better!
