Many years later, as he faced the firing squad,
I have escaped Yunguilla for a day to demand an explanation from a clinic for my stomach troubles. They gave me a dish for my stool sample that's less than a centimeter deep. I think I went partly just to get out for a day. Yunguilla is going fine but time is passing unbearably slowly. I got up at 5:45 this morning to catch a van full of high schoolers to be dropped of in the neighboring town. I'm in San Antonio right now, which has Ecuador's ecuator line monument/museum, and walking around town this morning I'm realizing how surrealistic Ecuador's landscape can be. San Antonio is surrounded by mountain-like scrubby hills and clouds that are so close you can see the moving grey and white vapor. But something about the landscape doesn't fit, it's like the foothills around Boise. They feel like a painting or a room where someone built an incomplete imaginary landscape.
