It's hard to believe that I'm starting my journey home on Tuesday. I am still slightly nervous about being in Guayaquil all day on Tuesday because it is a huge city and supposedly pretty dangerous, though most sources say it's really only dangerous at night. I am sure I can manage to do a bunch of touristy stuff during the day. Apparently there is a park in Guayaquil where the trees and the park itself really is filled with wild iguanas. Now I know iguanas are herbivores, but I am not sure if I'll be able to force myself to see the park. Surely it would be interesting, but considering I have a severe phobia of frogs, iguanas really aren't that appealing to me. ew. But there is also a boardwalk named Malecon 2000 downtown on the River Guayas and an artsy neighborhood with tons of colorful houses called Cerro Santa Ana that I'd like to see. So there are ways to pass the time.
I am not sure why, but I am nervous about actually getting out of Ecuador and to Milwaukee just in terms of getting through customs (in a timely fashion) because I've never had to do anything like that before and I read that in Miami, where I'll be entering the country, everyone's bags get opened and searched and then you have to recheck your luggage.
All in all, I'm ready to go home. I will miss Loja beause it is a beautiful place, but home is where your heart is.
I'll also miss this little guy. He's been a great surrogate cat.

It's crazy how fast that time went. And I'll bet even faster for you.
p.s. Take a picture from the outskirts of iguana park. That would be awesome to see.
