La Hacienda Guachala, which is considered the oldest existing colonial hacienda in Ecuador.
Making new friends in Ecuador
We visited La Mitad del Mundo (The Middle of the World) in Quito.

Beautiful postcard views on our Sunday hike in Tabacundo.
We climbed to the highest point that we could see

Yours truly
We were so sore the next day from our 5 hour hike but it was good to be active and outdoors!
We were inspired to make a random low budget horror film by the laguna, which starred Erin as the brain eating zombie.
Kristen brought her fishing pole and we even gave fishing a try at the lake….it turns out these fish did not like cheese as bait.
And I leave you with this image....Jake navigating the dusty roads on our hike while keeping his respiratory health in mind.
Peace Corps gave us face masks last week due to volcanic activity in north Ecuador...apparently ash tends to travel into the surrounding cities. We have not seen any of the repercutions, but PC like to be extra safe. (which Im sure you like to hear Mom)
I believe my next post will be from my new site when I am an official Peace Corps volunteer! (mas o menos in two weeks) So for now, I miss you all dearly and hope things are going wonderfully for you! Sending my love!

To send a package
*It is best to send packages through normal mail. Fedex tends to be more expensive. *Do NOT declare any value on the package. *Packages have to be less than 4lbs in order to get through customs. *Please let me know if you have sent a package so that I know to make a trip to the city to go to the post office.
This is a blog about my experiences as a community health Peace Corps volunteer in Ecuador. The contents of this website are mine personally and do not reflect any position of the U.S government or the Peace Corps.
