I can’t believe how short of a time we have left here in Mexico. I feel like this trip just started. My friend Nick told me a while ago that the next time we got on a plane we’d be going home. I miss my family and friends so badly, but thinking of leaving this [...]

The past couple of weeks have been filled with lots of travel, illness, studies, and the new excitement of Mexico. We had multiple excursions in Peru, and finding a phone or internet proved very difficult, if the time to look could even be found. One of my favorite activities that we did while we were [...]

Last spring Dr. Bertsche said that ALL of us were going to get sick at some point in time while on this trip—foreign travel has not only risks, but some inevitability. I didn’t believe him because I rarely get sick and was convinced that I have a super-human immune system. Whelp, with my foot in [...]

My Ecuadorian host family taught me a great deal about the meaning of family from the perspective of another culture. My experience not only altered my view of Ecuadorian culture, but it also gave me a new perspective on what family is to people of the United States.

So a lot has happened since my last post, and to be honest I don’t want to write a 10 page blog on this one, so I’m just going to start from the time we entered Peru! We left Ecuador and my family for the past 3 weeks on August 21 and entered into the [...]

Traveling has made blogging difficult this past week, but saying goodbye to Ecuador was a million times harder. Rachel and I decided for our farewell gift of sorts, we would cook our family dinner during the last week. We chose to make lasagna, one of my personal favorites, and apple pie accompanied by ice cream. [...]

Hello again. Sorry to everyone that tried to read this the first time and could not. I have been having quite a few problems with my blogging account (including not being able to upload pictures), but hopefully there will be no more major problems with it. I am going to try and write this post [...]

Another week has past, yet my tapestry for art class has only grown about half an inch… When are those due again? Last weekend I had planned on getting at least half way done on the way to Saraguro, however, sleep, of course, overcame me. I had my first mountain hiking experience in Saraguro and wow [...]
