I'm Alive!!!

Hey Allyn (and others who are actually reading this)-
I'm alive! Will and I are having a great time here in Quito, Ecuador, and I'm really grateful I was able to come down here. A day or so after I came down, we left to go on a four day, three night tour into the jungle with a couple of Will's friends down here (Phil, Ali, Geoff, and Brandon). What a great trip! We flew into Coca, took a five hour boat ride down the Napo River, and spent time walking through the jungle, watching monkeys in trees (I fed them bananas!!!), eating leaves and such our guide showed us in the jungle, playing lots of cards, and applying lots of bug spray (100% deet). It was a great time. It was awesome getting to hang out with the people Will's spent his semester with - I wish he could have come out to Egypt for a while to do the same thing. Since we got back, we've just been hanging out around Quito, hanging out with some of the HCJB families, we took a salsa lesson last night!!! and we've watched a couple movies too. We're going to Papallacta tomorrow with the Harrisons, a hot springs place I think. We're thinking about going to the coast early next week, we'll see. We're hoping to get invitations printed before I leave, so I can start working on them when I get home. Whew, there you go :) That was a mouthful.

Alright, I'll talk to you all later! I'm flying back to Phoenix on the 10th. :)
