Ok, so while I have to teach in a ghetto style building surrounded by cars honking, smog from buses and plain chaos in the middle of downtown Quito, my dear husband has to teach at a beautiful, new, spacious and full of nature campus in the valley of Cumbaya.  Talk about luck!  With those surroundings and teaching meditation, yoga and the like, you can already tell who's not going to be aging any time soon and who's going to look like a raisin in the near future!!...

Anyway, Nathan did complain about the fact that I always end up having the "down and dirty" urban experience and he ends up in a tidy and almost sterile private environment (just like Georgia State and Emory universities).  But, I really think that in this case he can't really complain too much.  We've posted some pictures of the main sections of the campus where he teaches or takes his tai-chi classes.  The views around campus are great too!  I might dare to take some pictures of my campus, which would pretty much be one building in the middle of a busy street in downtown.  UDLA (Universidad de las Americas) has been here for only a few years and they had to squeeze themselves into a group of buildings that were previously used for housing, so, they're all scattered inside one neighborhood and their facilities are just not ideal.  However, it is a good university and they're paying for our food, so, I like it!!  I'll share more about my teaching experience once it starts next Monday (yikes!).
