A Whirlwind Tour

So we´re out of ecuador first thing in the morning, it´s unfortunate that it´s gone so fast but we have another 4 weeks in Peru and I´m travelling onto Bolivia for about 3 more after Pete is gone. Hopefully more pictures will follow, Pete has no way of getting his pictures onto a computer right now so these are only representative of my own. Ecuador is amazing, between the orriente (east), sierra (mountain) and costa (coast) there is amazing amount of diversity in both plant and animals as well as the Ecuadorian culture. We´ve had the chance to briefly visit each part but there´s so much left to see that another trip will have to be done in the somewhat near future. Besides some of the most beautiful coutryside I have ever seen the people here have been amazing as well. We really lucked out having Aaron out here, we worked with him in Honduras and he´s doing two more years out in the jungle. Through him we´ve met and been spoiled by so many of the PC Volunteers here that it´s gonna be hard to travel Peru without having them pointing out the best spots to see. So thanks again to Aaron for showing us the orriente and helping to set us up with everyone else; Dan for the rafting, it was awesome; Megan, Elaina, Lindsey, Janet and all the rest of the girls that let us crash their party in Santa Domingo, sorry I was under the weather; Dara for putting us up in Guayaquill, it was short but sweet; and last but certainly not least, Stuart and Emily for showing us around and helping us sample some of the local flora and fauna. Being former Peace Corps volunteers really has it´s perks. Enjoy the rest of youralls time down here if I make it back before you´re gone I´ll definately let you know. As for us, starting at 6 in the morning, we´re on a bus for what we´re estimating to be about 20 hours tommorrow, so at least there´s that.
