Getting to Know Ecuador



We are off to the orphanage today (YAY!) and did not have great internet service last night. So I will make this quick and hopefully can write more tonight.

Our guides and translators are wonderful! They are so kind and they are really a part of our team not just translating. We are so as excited with our new friendships!

We saw so many beautiful places today. We walked around, ate dinner, and rode a boat around in a lake inside of an active volcano. We also went to the Indian market for a little shopping. 

While we were at touring, the Indian people where having a festival to worship the sun (we think). There we so many people and we had a rare opportunity to see these them doing their ritual dances, etc (and almost got tangled in one....poor Cameron) haha .We have some video we will try and post at some point. As we left walked through these people my heart felt so heavy for them. 

I am so glad that we had this day to see Ecuador and to get to know the people of Ecuador more!
