It´s Megan blogging from Trujillo, Peru! I hope all is well at home and I miss everybody so much. I wanted to give Ecuador a little shout out before I move on to Peru and have worked very hard to upload all these photos. Enjoy!!

Tomorrow is our last day in Quito and Ecuador. I think I am sad to leave Ecuador. I´ve gotten pretty comfortable here and I really don´t know what to expect in Peru. Kelsey said she heard somewhere Peruvians don´t like Americans at all. Really comforting.
A lot has happened these past… 41 days? I have…
- stayed with two different Ecuadorian host families and both have invited me back
- spoken some bomb Spanish
- ziplined on the longest and tallest zipline in South America
- danced with a shovel in my raincoat and sunglasses (and pretty damn well)
- dug many holes
- planted as many trees
- eaten only organically and vegetarianally for an entire week
- spent a few hours finding my way through mud
- taken freezing cold showers
- not taken freezing cold showers so as to avoid freezing cold water
- learned to cement by hand
- carried my fair share of cinder blocks to last me a lifetime
- filled many fundas (plastic bags) with dirt
- and many many more cosas
