Feliz Navidad from Montanita Ecuador!
Its getting a little weird not being around any family for christmas. Yesterday we successfully said good bye to Cuenca, our home town for the last, 3-1/2 weeks, and bussed our way for almost 8 hours through Guayaquill and up the coast a ways to a chill little beach town called Montanita. Sad to see Cuenca go, as we grew fond of that town and our friends there, but we are excited for what is to come. We will be here till the 26th, when we will head back to Guayaquill for a night and off to Peru on the 27th.
Today, being the 24th is celebrated as Christmas day in Ecuador. Yesterday, after a long bus ride, we had 1 beer with dinner and were in bed by 9. This morning we were both up early and walked down the beach in the Oregon-esque drizzley rain. We dont have any big plans for the rest of the day. We might try surfing this afternoon or tomorrow as the water is a bit warmer as you get south of Newport a ways. While vanessa stayed in Cuenca, I went to Cajas national park to hike around some lagoons in the high Andes (13000 ft) with some Aussies and Californians on saturday. good times. The internet is a tad expensive ( 1.50/hr), so I wont dilly too long.
We wish a pile of smiles upon everyone who should read this.
Merry Christmas,
MaX and Vanessa

While we all missed you two today, Christmas, we know that you will have wonderful memories of your warm Holiday in Ecuador!
Love,

Hey there!
All of us here at the agency are still keeping track of you. Judging by the photos, you're really seeing some spectacular scenery. Pretty cool adventure you have going on. Hope you're keeping a journal. Is it possible to down-load this blog as a journal later?
Michelle has asked for and accepted the graphics job here. Both she and Kristine are on vacation until after the 1st. It's been really empty here some days because other people have taken days off over the holidays as well. One day, it was only Nicole and me.
Kristine is in the Cook Islands. She sent come photos and a couple e-mails. She must be getting bored.
Things are beginning to turn around for us a little. That's a big relief. At least I'm not losing sleep every night any more.
Not much else exciting going on around here. Other than Gary Myers really getting VERY angry with corporate and telling them that he wanted us to handle Sacramento because of their incompetence. Nice gesture, but not quite the best way to be positioned with corporate. We'll see what happens.
I'm in a New Years Eve comedy improv show. that'll be interesting. I get to play with the pros in that show. I'm not inviting anyone I know just in case I crash and burn.
Keep up the really great blog. It's fun to follow you around the continent. You're going to be so worldly by the time you return.
Wishing you both all the best.
