It's very similar to the way I remember it. It also has some differences. I was looking through the "phone book" of all the missionaries here for people I know. There aren't many.
Of course, it's still just as rainy, cloudy, and wet as I remember.
Tomorrow I start as a working visitor with HCJB. I'm still not entirely sure what I'm going to be doing, but that's half the adventure. I'm also not yet settled into the place I'm going to be staying. Uncle Fred and Aunt Desi (they aren't actually my aunt and uncle) aren't at home right now, but they should pick me up soon.
I'm tired.
The road here was scenic, as always, and windy. BUT IT'S PAVED!!!!!!! That's really different from when I was here last. It took 4-5 hours (I wasn't really watching the clock), whereas before it too 5-6 hours.
It actually took us longer because we stopped at a really interesting place along the way to eat lunch. It's an orphanage in the town of Banos. It was really beautiful and the people/kids were really nice. The food was good, too! I haven't had "real" Ecuadorian food in a very long time.
Ok, so, in the middle of writing this post I was interrupted and a lot of things happened. It is now 10:00. I am now about to go to sleep in the bed I will be using for the rest of the summer. I'm really tired and excited about tomorrow. Please pray for me!!! And pray for God's children in Ecuador.
Go get 'em Morgan!
ReplyDeleteZING... "'real' Ecuadorian food" The internet said the arroz con pollo I made was the REAL Ecuadorian way of making it! haha
