Despite of some our local friends recommendation not to bother going to Latacunga we decided stick to our plan and visit a friend of ours in Latacunga. According to those some local friends, Latacunga, a small city few-hour bus ride away from Quito, apparently has nothing to see or to do and is absolutely not worth visiting! I suppose this worked for us like reverse psychology for kids. And we absolutely proved them wrong! We LOVE Latacunga! Amazing time, best food that we´ve had so far, better night clubs than in Quito, cheap manicures, chocolate strawberries, great sights and even better company.

Old School Bowling
One saturday we made a sold effort to go on a day trip to a town close by Quito. Unfortunately land slide from a mountain laid a setback on our journey. So we returned to Quito but it wasnt totally wasted day.. we found a old school bowling hall and spent the day bowling and playing ping pong. How much fun was that!!
 |
| I loved my shoes |
That was more or less what has been happening in my life in May. On top of these stuff.. I never had so much free time in my life and so less stress about school. I also never have partied and travelled as much I have during my stay in Ecuador. This was one of the fun nights in Quito.
 |
| Me and Estrella |
 |
| Friends Adam and Giga |
Its blessing and trouble to be friends with all the club stuff! Cheap nights and painful mornings!
 |
| At NO BAR with our bouncer friends. |
 |
| Ladies night |
Its been a great month with lot of new experiences, great new people and fantastic places.
Im currently visitng Colombia and will update my blog soon about how the colombianos spice up their lives!
Viva la vida y hasta entonces!
