Notes from the Road
“Wowzer!!! Two whole months have gone by! I can’t believe I have to go home in 48 days. Tear. This trip has been the best thing I’ve ever done – plus, I get high school credit for it!
It is unexplainable how much the other girls and I have bonded. But living together for 2 months will do that to ya.
Nothing ever stands still here. One minute we are sitting on a bus stuck in the mud, the next we are being pulled up the road by a bulldozer like we were on the way to Quito. Life here is... well... awesome, incredible, super, and every other positive adjective.
We seriously have no down time because there is sooooo much to see and do. And trust me, I am not complaining. But it's "what happens that is not on the itinerary that makes a trip great." When my science teacher, Lander, said that as we boarded the airplane in Miami I had no clue how right she was. It is the people you meet and experiences shared that make everything soooo awesome.
I wish I could effectively tell all of things we have gone through, but I doubt anyone else would find them quite as entertaining as us (our teachers don't even get half of our jokes.) I have yet to regret signing up for this trip.”
