Holy crap, my trip is ending! Today will be my last full day in S. America.

Like the previous day I didn’t really have much planned other than preparing to go home an done last three hour salsa lesson.

Once again the lesson was intense but I truly enjoyed and I think I gained a lot from it. Could I possibly try and dance salsa in a club? Well, that’s another story.

Honestly, after my salsa lesson I did nothing. I wandered Quito for about an hour so to get my last taste of S. America and that was it. I had made tentative plans to go to a salsa club that night and stay up until I had to leave for my flight home but whether or not that was actually going to happen I didn’t know.

I met a couple who was also going to be on my flight and we decided that we would take a cab together. They were extremely cautious and I think planned on getting a cab at 330am or so but in order to save some money on the cab I said that I would go with them. I had asked them to make sure I was up (i’m always paranoid about missing flights) and then we could go together.

As it turned out my plans for going dancing that night never worked out and I spent the night at the hostel conversing with people I’d met and hanging out.

That night at dinner though the hostel brought in some live music which was a pretty cool way to end my trip. Even if they didn’t really play authentic Ecuadorian music it was still fun.
