On the Run
After a trip to the Internet on Sunday me and Marianne realised how shit our school was and how much we were being ripped off so we hatched a plan to escape our personal hell and are now soldiers of fortune on the run from the authorities for a crime we didn´t commit. It was pretty stressful leaving Fajarado and one of the German girls now hates me with a passion, she thinks I was leading Marianne up the wrong path, she even said that in front of me, lucky for her my German isn´t good enough and I just smiled at her.
We did a runner early the next morning to Quito and shaqed up in a cheap B&B until the dust settled. It´s not really that bad but we did send an email to the School organisers threatening to sue them. Today we left hiding and signed up for a new school - it seems way nicer and despite Marianne´s initial hesitation we´re now way happier. I also contacted the Irish Consulate, they seem really nice.
I´ll have some pictures up soon.

Why do I sense a grand finale involving a cadillac, Ciaran in a wig, the Grand Canyon and a blaze of glory?

Oh yeah Ciaran, the Irish Consulate are lovely people but don’t expect them to be bailing you out when you need a quick flight home.
Glad to hear you’re moving on from the disappointing Farajdo place. Quitter.
It turns out that Bertie seems now to have accepted a cash donation from the same guy that he bought his house from. Uh oh…
thought you’d like this quote from Edinburgh festival:

Keep slappin on the sun cream.
Love,
big sis.

Hello you both,
Marianne wrote an e-mail about the shocking circumstances under which you had to live and work… Unbelievable that you had to pay money for that crap.
You are doing right running off! Hope your new school will be way better.
Thinking of you and wishing you good luck for your future school and trips!
one of your big sistas.

Your journey seems to be assuming more and more J Bond characteristics guys. Latest i heard you were cable-caring across a volcanic landscape and rumbling along narrow, crumbling, rock face mountain roads. Just remember, you’re not actually in a film. Alrighty?
Love,
sis

[...] I’m a fairly easy going person but whilst here in Ecuador some people have really started pissin me off so now I’m gonna get back at them. If your already aware of my saga with the language school and how the feckers have been threatening us with the police and lawyers and shit you’ll know we pretty much thought the whole thing had ended. But yesterday we got an email from them threatening us again, this time saying they were gonna sue Marianne in Germany. Well, no one threatens my woman so I decided to take the manly route to revenge and start an online campaign to publicise what ass-holes these guys are. I bought a domain name AtahualpaSpanishSchool.com (they own atahualpa.com + .info) and I’m gonna make sure every fecker searching for language schools in quito knows about them. To that end I would appreciate if anyone could link tasty keywords like “Learn Spanish Quito” or “Cheap Spanish Lessons Quito” or “SprachKurs Spanisch Quito” to the above site. [...]
