HELLO!
Sorry for not being in touch!
Montanita is like a blissful vaccuum where time disappears into a whole lot of heavenly sunny salty nothingness!, the sun is always shining, the people are laid back and the lifestyle is ten paces behind normal life...its amazing!
We had no plans to come here, let alone stay yet we have been here nearly two weeks and it is awesome! I am doing Spanish lessons for two hours a day , surfing lessons in the afternoon and enoying hangin out with a great bunch of local dudes...one of whom who happens to be the national Long Board surf champ and professional life guard so we have managed to get some cheap lessons and super cheap board hire!
I am still waiting on insurance after being robbed in Quito so thankfully, living here is super cheap! Neil is now chief photographer (as I am without camera) so I will send more pics as soon as we can upload!
We are living with a local girl who has let us stay for free as we are helping her set up her business (opening a new cafe) so its a perfect set up and has meant we are not spending much money.The plan is to leave on Monday to head to Lima, which, given how attached to this place we are, will be very hard!
If anything, being here has taught me that that which is unplanned can sometimes yield the best results...we are all super relaxed and enjoying just living local life, speaking the language, eating the food and taking some time out from moving around.
