Walked to Museo Nacional del Ecuador with new hostel vol Rosita and Carmz. The building was incredible with three gigante floors depicting the chronological history of Ecuador via art, tribal artifacts, music, dance, contemporary documentaries, trading maps etc. It was amazing and I’m so glad to finally have made it to one of the amazing free (!!!!) museums yay. Met two Fullbright gals doing different research projects in the Amazon for stir fry in La Floresta district. We had some interesting conversations about women’s health and indigenous cultures. The selva (jungle) are fascinating to me and I am so excited to start looking into the gender nonconforming, nature inspired deities and folklore of la oriente.
