Greetings from Ecuador
I have found myself in Ecuador for the next month of my life. I’m not exactly sure what inspired this idea other than a subtle suggestion from my spiritual director a few months ago. Somehow that subtle suggestion found its way to fruition through lots of prayer, a little bit of good luck, and most of all God’s blessing. Fast forward a few months and here I am in beautiful Ecuador. Honestly, before coming to Ecuador I didn’t know much about this country and still don’t but I’m excited to learn more. Tomorrow I will start working at a clinic as well as start taking Spanish classes.
Some interesting things to note so far: I think cars have the right of way over pedestrians or so it seems by how terrified I am at crossing the street. The elevation is extremely high: 9000 ft.!! So I’m still getting used to that. The food is delicious and especially the food my host family makes which is mostly from scratch.
Photo: Taken a few blocks from where I am staying this is
looking at volcán Chimborazo, the highest peak in
Ecuador.
So far my host family has been wonderful and extremely hospitable to me. In hopes of keeping everyone posted my plan is to keep up with this blog as I continue my adventure here in Ecuador. I also plan on writing a small part of this blog in Spanish (emphasis on small). Hopefully the Spanish part will grow as I spend more time here. I am going to try to use translation software as little as possible so if you’re fluent or know any Spanish at all for that matter, feel free to correct or comment on my post.
Saludos de Ecuador
Yo llegé en Ecuador hace dos días y yo estoy un poco nervioso y muy emocionado. Mi familía en Ecuador ha sido muy amiable. La comida es buenísima y mi comida favorita es la sopa. Mi familia tiene un jardin en su patio y hay muchos vegetales que hacen la sopa. La mańana es mi primero día en el clinic y tambien mí primero dïa de clase.
