Yesterday I didn't feel well enough to go out of the apartment, so I was able to get some of my classwork done. I felt very productive.

Today, we were well enough to get out for about 3 hours. We went up to the top of one of the local peaks via a gondola ride, then a walk that took us higher. We ended up at 4100 meters. Between the cold I have and the altitude, I thought I would die. But since I'm here writing, obviously I didn't.

Now we are both too tired to go out and do any more sightseeing, so after I put in a little more time on classwork and get my philosophy statement uploaded to D2L, we'll probably watch a movie on Caitlin's computer.

There's another piece of Ecuador technology to tell you about--we can buy first run movies for $1.00. She bought the latest Batman, Bride Wars, the new James Bond (Quantum of Solace), and Australia.
