An Amazing Adventure- The Galapagos, Amazon Rainforest, and Everything In-Between

I just wanted to get some pics up real quick before I entered my final post about Ecuador. These are all from the 2 weeks following the end of my program. My parents came down to visit me and we took off around the country, seeing the famous Galapagos Islands, the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest while staying at a secluded lodge, my place of internship at Yunguilla, the markets at Otavalo, and spending a wonderful Christmas in Qutio. It was a memorable way to depart such a wonderful country!

It was hard to say goodbye to the people at CIMAS (where we took classes)


We went back to visit my Yunguilla families again

Yep, that's a tarantula

You can get so close to the animals- it's amazing

I'm so glad that you set out to what you wanted to do. I know that we didn't get to talk that much, but I have watch you grow and you're determined to go out there and achieve your goals and I'm very proud of you. Hope you're having fun. If I recall your hair was shorter when you left. Does it itch?
