Buenas noches from Cuenca, Ecuador by far the most beautiful city!
A week ago we completed the project Sacha Yachana Wasi, with a laughing and a crying eye. In the last two weeks, the children, the jungle, the weather and the mood of the teacher's house once again shown by the very best and the farewell can be difficult. Although it is now quite a while ago, I would like to write to you a bit of the city school week in Quito.
The idea of a special week for the four remaining high school students I had, because I seemed to her that she too should have something special when even the other four while in Switzerland the "allowed". I wanted to do something that was almost as exciting and strange, like the trip to Switzerland Yesseña and Micaela. Maestra Gloria and Anja accompanied us. Financed
we have a week of the donation money for teachers in secondary and high school turf, who for many hours gejasst committed. Many thanks to André & Kathrin Mueller, Dani & Annemarie Rösti, Dänu Haymoz, Elisabeth and Werner Berger, Judith and Jürg Flückiger, Bernhard Probst, Patrick von Büren and all Gelegenheitsjasser!

arrival
Instead of the school canoe in the Amazoonico, drove Cristian, Adrian (both in the finest clothes, but clearly nervous), Maria (on-the forgotten identity card, we will once again down the river) had , Anja and I went to Puerto Barantilla where Abdón and his sister Gloria were waiting for us. Unfortunately, the bus to Tena further due to a construction site above do not and we were forced to spend our trip to Quito with a half hour wait.
In Tena delivery of the first things "gänggelet"
and I wondered once again how this money is suddenly accessible. The trip to Quito was an adventure, which was mainly the driving style of the irregular Chofer due. The 5 Kichwas it was nauseated by this sudden braking and spirited acceleration. Without that I noticed is Adrian had already quietly passed into the gap between the seat and Buswand. In Cristian I was laying a hand bag. Finally slept all, what really under these circumstances, the
best was. At Terminal Terrestre de Quito, we all boarded a taxi together (which was quite a Gstungg) and drove to the Hostal Cometa, where I am now already feel quite at home all week and only was available to us.
The dinner I went with Mary and Gloria in the mall "El jardín, buy a huge shopping center. Only when I heard the nervous giggles, I realized that the two had never ridden on an escalator and that is probably amusing, but it took a bit scary.
Abdón surfed now in a hostel on the web. And although he was not sure often with a PC had worked, he found himself remarkably well. Great fun it made the browsing through my blog, mainly because of the photos and films. After the food was pretty quick night's sleep. And the alarm never went off. I had the children in the run my story with the security system in Hostal Cometa told and no one wanted the police in the house. Although, it might have irritated Cristian ... Just look what happened ...

visit the old town and the Basilica, ride in the Parque Carolina
Because it's much colder in Quito than in the East, have Jana and I rented directly to the children of our cold weather gear: Abdón ran around in my fleece, Adrian Janas, Gloria wore my t-shirt and Cristian my windbreaker.
goes through the revolving bars, which prevent that damage to many people together in the bus station (you know what I mean? These things have a name ?). gave During the subsequent walk through the old town is much to see, not only for the Indians ungewöhnten eyes, but also to Anja and me. For example, a shoelace salesman. We were allowed into the lobby of the government building of Rafael Correa, the acting president. The neat, black guard, who stood in front of the decorative entrance gate, we were allowed to take pictures.
Even the rise in the tower of the Basilica, a large cathedral was not only for the students an exciting affair. The extremely steep ladder into the tower seemed anything but safe and the houses of Quito from this lofty height seemed disturbingly small. Gloria and Maria were better in the more secure mezzanine and I ventured only hinau 
f because Anja wanted so much.
Lunch we took in a small local restaurant, of which there are throughout the city at every turn one. The kids ordered chicken and rice, but could hardly enjoy, such as the photo of Cristian shows because the room was a television.
conclusion of this first day trip to the big city was a paddleboat ride in the Parque Carolina.
wanted for dinner, the children - believe it or not - rice and chicken. Chicken was too expensive, but rice and onion and tomato salad was cooked in the hostel of Mary and Gloria. As 
then Maya still brought a TV, they heard from the tired children do not have much. (PS: In Switzerland, I always make at camps taken to ensure that the children watch TV than a week not . Here in Ecuador I did it treat them by heart ...)
