I took a trip all over Ecuador. Ecuador is the number one most biologically diverse country in the world. It is one of the only countries to be at the equator, but have all of the different climate zones. You can see everything from the beach, to…

I miss exploring Quito with the conquistadoras and Jim. I miss freezing my butt off in Quilatoa. I miss swatting mosquitos in La Selva. I miss playing mafia and spilling our deepest secrets in a cabin in the middle of the afternoon. I miss fire water. I miss $1 beer. I miss eating pizza everyday for a week. I miss Santi kicking down a door.

Here’s one for the road conquistadoras! Azul Azul Azul!

Living life is simple in Quilatoa.

Without running water, or heat.

How did we end up in a city in the Andes, 

Full of children and problems we’re lucky to meet.
