Hola,
No Radiohead (one of my favorite bands) didn´t come to Quito, but last night my brother, Fernando, offered to take me to a concernt and on the way there I asked of what type of music and he replied that it was a band that covered Radiohead songs. Needless to say it was a very fun time, we met a few other friends from Wisconsin as well. I got my first taste of la cerveza nacional: Pilsener. Afterwards we went to a really fun bar/club where we danced for a long time amongst native Ecuadorians and other students from around the U.S. and one from Bolivia, a great time indeed. Fernando and I ended the night by going to a small, quasi-underground salsa bar where I was absolutely amazed and bewildered about how well some of the people there could dance, I had truly never seen the human body move in such a graceful, rapid, and beautiful way - hopefully I can pick up a move or two while I´m here. La Mariscal, the center of Quito´s nightlife, proved to be a lot of fun and I´m excited to go back and grateful for Fernando´s willingness to act as both a guide, brother, and friend (sorry Aaron, guess you got some competition...kidding...kinda). I´m in the process of making a photo website, I´ll post it shortly. In the meantime, here´s a shot of my porch and my amazing view.
Attentamente,
Brett

Hey Brett,
I fnally figured out how to access your blog and it was great to read how you're doing. Sounds like your family is jusst perfect for you and the countryside is justs amazing. I think Madison is a beautiful campus so if you are saying yours is better, I'm anxious to see the pictures. All here is cold and boring...you have the right idea! Hope classes are going smoothly and there are plenty of cute senioritas to cath your attention. Love you, Aunt Sheryl
