Andes and Amazon Adventure

Hola from Ecuador!
We made it here last night rather late in the evening, and checked into our cute hotel in Quito, Ecuador. We were all pretty tired from our travels so we feel alseep quickly. This morning we woke up to a great breakfast together and Meg Lewis wowed us with her spanish speaking skills. (She also left her cell phone on the plane in Atlanta, Georgia yesterday). We are getting ready for a fun filled day with our awesome guide, Markus who knew all of our names right when we got on our tour bus. Today we will be emarking on an amazing adventure where we will drive to the northern part of the country and stay in a village for the next three days. On our way to the village, we will be passing Ecuador´s most picturesque, snowcapped colcanoes, Cayambe, Cotopaxi or Antisana. We will also vist the sacred Peguche Waterfall and give an offering to Pachamama (Mother Earth) and then enjoy a traditional Andean lunch in the village of Peguche. After that we are going to visit the Andean instrument workshop and listen to a musical demonstration. Once we make it to the viallge of Quitugo were we are going to begin our service project. During this project, we will help with thei deforestation issues as well as learn and teach about our different cultures. We will be staying overnight at the school, which will be an experience for all of us, but we are excited for this different and new adventure. Hope to write soon when we find another computer! Pictures to come!
Love, TEAM ECUADOR
