Christmas in jail

Hey hows everyone doin in Van? Hope yall had a good Christmas season with all your crazy aunts and uncles. haha...

So i spent 3 hours in jail on Christmas. Gnarly! Well the scoop is this...this dude im travelling with wanted to do something worthwhile on Christmas. There are many foreigners in jail here that did stupid thinkgs like drugs etc and they dont mess around with that stufff down here. There is a girl in jail who is doing 8 years for a flap of the disco pow! T here are also many kids in jail too...many of whom were born in the joint be cause of prostituion or they were pregnant when arrested. So we took them magazines, toothbrushes and paste, toilet paper, candy, and toys for the kids. Top this S. Janzen hahahah... Rmac the merciful. All in all a n ice thing to do, and super sketchy. The next day i went and took steam and hot tub to clear the soul.

Christmas night we stayed at thhis super cool colonial hostel,...and celebrated with about 20 travellers...turkey dins and then booze and dancing. Currently im in Cuenca Ecuador and tomorrow will rock out to a surf town in Peru near Tumbes to celebrate new years.

Enjoy your new years all

laters,

galapagos islands dudes!!

hello all, and thanks for your wonderful blog updates. i held the nerd spaz to a minimum because i had the internet cafe dude switch this mofo into english. So i hope you´re all coping well with the frost in Vancouver. A few of you had alluded , spelling...to me and spas. Quite right kee moe sawbees,...you know me well. When i land in quito, i may take a two hour bus ride to the country to a resort with real hot springs. then back to travelling reality which includes camo, an rmac pledge for freedom for all, and xbox for the children. So i just arrived after an 8 day voyage of the galapagos islands. super cool. saw sharks in the morning circling our boat which was just dandy,...to which i did a few good ol´tire kicks to ensure ecuadorian construction of boat was minting,...and it was. these guys down here super casual dudes and top notch. ok, saw massive turtles, snorkled with sharks, manta rays, sting rays and sea turtles, AND! Iguanas were on some of the islands which was really interesting. the female sea lions come rip roaring around you and play in the water. have met all kinds of cool people.
quito is nice and hmmm, a little dodge when the sun goes down. i´ve heard all kinds of horrow stories, so good thing i rocked the sheraton for the first two nights. photo enclosed hip hops. umm, no laughs at my shot in swim trunks, ...i´m down here for a reason to beef up on beans and rice and gain a few jenny craig pounds. So merry christmas to all and chat soon. oh, i´ve met a girl down here...you´ll see in the photo...she´s a little rough around the edges but got great color,...could use a manicure on dem claws though. laters and happy holidays.
