More Ibarra

Hello all you crazy people! Today is a rest day. Yesterday was supposed to be a rest day...but then we went to the wall and got all psyched so we climbed. We've befriended a few of the climbers from the Ecuador team. They're very friendly people, and very strong too! We've been eating with them, and climbing with them as well. The routes are very hard, but they are setting new ones every couple of days, so we'll be getting great onsight practice in.
The weather here is usually cloudy, though today the sun graced us with its presence. We went for a run around town today, though the car exhaust fumes were a bit much.
We're staying in Ibarra for a few more days, and then we decided to head back to Quito around the 10th to go and train at the wall there so we can get some endurance training in. Hopefully the routes there aren't so freakin hard!
Stacey and I are psyched, as there is supposed to be lot's of climbing around Cuenca where some of the climbers are from. They are very proud of their city, as apparently nothing is as good or as beautiful or as wicked as Cuenca! So Stace and I are going to check that out!
I'm not a huge fan of Ibarra and can't wait for the Canadian team to come and make it more interesting. I think this city is going to be shocked with all the foreigners during World's, as Stacey, Michael and I get alot of stares as we walk down the street.
Right well...CIAO!!!
