my last days on the equator

Yesterday was my last full day in this beautiful country. It is so unreal. I know that I am leaving today, but it just doesn't seem real. Though I'm excited to be going back to see family and friends, it will be quite different from living in Ecuador and I will miss certain things about my life...

the end of being in the middle

This week was the end of my teaching cycle, and full of reviewing, grading and lots of paperwork. A good experience overall. The language institute for which I worked is great. A wonderful group of people, very supportive and understanding. I will miss it there a little. But I miss kids more, so...

Quiteña for the weekend

QuiteƱos really love to festejar. Officially, December 6th is the independence day of Quito, so starting a little over a week before this date, the parties and events began. There have been many cultural events: art exhibitions, musical performances, wine tastings, dance performances, bull...

how to?: a step by step account of a package coming to Ecuador

I always find a mailing address rather helpful, so I made sure to secure one before coming down to Ecuador, in case I should need any mail. I have successfully received post cards, letters, absentee ballots and packages. However, you never can tell when things will arrive, or how long it'll take...

turkeys in Ecuador?

Turkeys aren't so popular, though I know they exist and some people will be eating them. This year for Thanksgiving--a small Thanksgiving meal with my housemates (Megan, Ellie, and Liza) when I finally get out of here tonight. Then an ELF! date with Liz back home...a wonderful Thanksgiving...

high hopes, foiled adventures, and a volcano

Cotopaxi National Park: Last Saturday, this was the destination of Felim, Phil, Mike and I. The park itself was beautiful; great landscapes, beautiful trees, and of course the view of the volcano wasn't bad either. However we had a few glitches with the weekend. 1) We hired guides through...

no te vayas, vida de mi corazon

Last night after work, we piled into cabs and found ourselves at the olympic stadium (though they've never held the Olympics in Ecuador...) with music eminating from the interior. Outside the main entrance were many of the ususual suspects--people of all ages standing in clusters, ticket...

my week at a glance

Each day this week, on top of the usual workload and planning, I had other errands, classes or meetings to attend. It's been rather exhausting. Unfortunately, my weekend plans do not include relaxing. Yesterday I went to buy my ticket to the Juanes concert. He's playing at Estadio Atahualpa,...
