Ecuador
Just a quick update on where we´re at now. (Rachel thinks my blogs are too long, so this will be short). We left Lima, Peru, on Saturday with a short 2 hour flight to Guayaquil, Ecuador. We went right to the bus station and got on a bus for the 4 hour ride to Cuenca. The scenery was gorgeous as we ascended from Guayaquil, through the Parque Nacional Cajas, and finally into Cuenca. We spent a relaxing Saturday evening and Sunday in Cuenca. We were able to walk to a nearby grocery store and shopping center, and also to the city´s main plaza. Monday morning we were back on the road again, taking the 1 1/2 hour bus ride to Canar. After a quick lunch, Brian went right to work with the translation team, and Rachel and I did our school work. Our hotel is very nice, but it doesn´t have internet access, so we go to an internet cafe for that. It´s not far from the hotel, so it´s not a problem (just not as convenient as we´re used to). Today we had lunch with Brian and one of the translators. I´ll write more about the Quichua translation team and project later this week. (Gotta keep this short, you know!) This weekend, when we can use our own computers again, we´ll post pictures of our bus ride and this very scenic town. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers! Donna

I feel lucky I got to see the pictures already...they were gorgeous! Have a great time in Canar! Love you mucho!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Rachel, some of us have a 2 or even 3 paragraph attention span!
ReplyDeleteI will eventually need a map with stick pins in it so see where you have all gone. My geography is suffering from old age. I can relate to the internet situation. Even though it is just down the road a piece it is not as conveneint as I would like. Donna, I saw your "hello" on facebook but I didn't know how to respond to you. That was such a sick, dumb feeling. Thanks for trying, I will try to learn.
ReplyDeleteI will have to differ with Rachel, I love every word of your blog and don't think they are too long at all. Wonderful way for us to keep up with you because you make it so interesting.
