papallacta

i´m writing to you from the thermal springs of papallacta, east of quito, in the mountains. on the drive here we reached an elevation of 14,000 feet. the air is cooler here, and the clouds are closer. the next few days will be quiet ones, spent in the warm waters and writing.


last night i had my first experience with a shaman in cuenca. i am still working through it and am not yet ready to type it out here, but it was an experience that changed me deeply.
