pre-trip butterflies

Trying to get the feel of Ecuadorian style and taste.:) 

I have been in the midst of packing, seeing friends, traffic school :(, and wondering about life abroad. (If you have any insights on whether or not to get an international phone, let me know!)

Its great to see friends and family at home, the weather has been so unusual! Its been raining non stop day and night! I guess I just need to get used to that, in Cuenca it has an average 2 inches in January and February and 3-4 inches during March through May!

4 DAYS TILL DEPARTURE!!!
