Hola!
We had a fantastic day today, beautifull weather, but as soon as the sun shines here, it gets really hot right away!!! Makes me miss the clouds sometimes… I’m more used to -30, as I’ve lived 7 years in Finnland… But as it was in Finnland, you also have to wear many different layers here, because the temperature changes dramatically wether there are clouds or not. So when the clouds are on and off, I keep on putting one layer more ore less… Wich can change every 5 minutes… Keeps you busy…
The other thing, is that when there are no clouds at all, the sun shines really extremly hard, I experienced it again today… I don’t l ike to wear hats, just don’t get used to the feeling, but here I soon found out, that there is no way to go out without something on your head… So I bought a nice hat at the Otavalo market, north of Quito, and even finally wore it today for the first time! I had nicely left it in my room since 2 weeks… So my head was fine at last, but instead I burned my neck… It obviously takes some time for me to learn how to handle this… And to really “believe” that the sun REALLY is MUCH stronger than in Switzerland!!! Hope today was my last sunburn…
Today I avoided my “oatfield-fight” with the horses by not letting them onto that field. But tomorrow I’ll take the battery and put electricity on the fence… Hope it will convince them… We’ll see who wins that war… 
Hasta luego!
Sipuli
