The final two legs of my journey were Venezuela and Ecuador. Venezuela was a fast day that had me just visiting two schools and then basically heading right to the airport. Both schools that I visited were beautiful and had amazing views of the city. I really enjoyed every bit of my trip that had me there for less than 24 hours! Would be a place that I would like to go back to. The airport in Caracas was really chaotic and took me more than an hour to get through the line for Avianca. 
Customs and security only took about 5 minutes which you would think it would be the other way around. After finally getting through and getting on the plane, we sat on the runway for a while before we took off. My flight stopped in Bogota, Colombia where I had to get out of the plane and walk around my plane to, go through security, get searched by a cop and then jump on a plane to Ecuador. The flight to Ecuador was quick, and for the second night in a row, I got in after midnight.
In Ecuador, I had a wonderful driver named Rafael, who took me around the city for the two days I was there. He was really a great guy and helped me out tons! The school visits were great and I met some good kids. The most fun part about Ecuador was my touristic day today, Saturday. I visited the Mitad del Mundo (the fake one) and I learned a lot about the culture of Ecuador. I got this really cool fox/wolf mask which I am excited to put up in my apartment. It is
a really cool statue and is something that I am glad I got to see! Although this trip I didn't go to the real one, it'll give me something to do next time. I also got to travel into the old part of Quito as well as some pretty churches which are covered in gold. At the end of the day I had a nice little walk around the Artisan Market as well as go back to my hotel and pack. Latin America was a wonderful experience and I cannot wait to come back next year and maybe go somewhere new!Powered by ScribeFire.
