The picture that really is worth a thousand words

Just in case you didn´t believe me, here is the picture from the day I went down to the river with my friends. Quick recap.. A couple of friends of mine (foreigners) who live in Quito were passing through Cuenca and we decided to go hang out by the river before we went to get ice cream (stressful day, tell me about it!). There we were, sitting by the river, when one of the guys said, ¨Guys, you´re not going to believe this. Look behind you.¨ We looked behind us and there was a guy standing by the main path just staring down at us. In no way was he trying to pretend that he was doing something else. He was just staring at us. When we looked, he stepped behind a tree, but stuck his head out and kept staring at us for a good 10 minutes. HOW CAN I NOT FEEL LIKE A ZOO ANIMAL SOME DAYS!?!?!?

Just a side note.. Even though this picture looks creepy and we probably would have ran for it if we had been in a remote area, we were 50 feet from one of the busiest streets in the city!

    Mike - it's your cousin Katie Sokolyk!

    This experience reminds me a LOT of my trip to Jamaica last summer. It was a school trip with the education department, and we were volunteering in elementary schools in the small-ish town of Lucea, so of course, we were the ONLY white people who weren't staying at a Sandals.

    Long story short, I ended up getting countless proposals of marriage, as well as a multitude of indecent ones, and by the end of the trip, I swore that if one more person stared at me or catcalled at me, I would punch them in the face. Kudos to you for containing yourself so well! haha

    I hope you're having a wonderful time and learning a lot!
