Woke up at 6am after feeling really really sick last night and nauseous a lot of last night. After arriving in Quito with a coordinator Lisa and Christian, another event coordinator. We hung out in the airport and picked up another girl, Jenny. She's from Pennsylvania, super tall and really nice. Later we waited and picked up Florence, who is Chinese and speaks Cantonese! She's super funny and nice too. Jenny and Florence next to each other have such a big height difference its funny. We are all roomies for tonight! The hotel in Quito that we are staying at is SOO nice. Jenny and I went swimming, hot tubbing and went in the sauna and steam room. Lisa and Christian went to the airport to pick up the rest of the crew. There will be 18 or 19 of us total for the 4 months. Our stay includes our trip to the jungle on Thursday for a few days, a trip to the Galapagos Islands and to Machu Pichu. Our weekend excursions will be trips like horseback riding, trips to the beach maybe, hiking and visiting indigenous groups.
I love it!! So glad the group is here and I'm excited to visit the jungle. The first two weeks here went by sooo fast!!! Can't believe back in San Diego school is starting and I'm here going to the jungle!!:)
I've been reading all your entries Arielle! I think about you all the time! Prayers your way, love you :)
