Well, I'm back.

I took a look at my last post and realized that I now know where that picture was taken. I was in that exact spot. The Virgin of Quito.

Ecuador was amazing beyond belief, and I felt like it came at the perfect time. By the end of my freshman year at Purdue I was so closed off and restricted and just not able to be myself. Then I traveled to Ecuador 4 days after moving back home.

It was wonderful.

I learned and grew as much in Ecuador in only 2 weeks as I did during my entire freshman year. --Freshman year = huge growth. Don't get me wrong.-- Ecuador was just so different and new and open that I was able to grow exponentially. I could blog for pages and pages about Ecuador but I feel that my stories are best suited for other forms of communication. I'll leave you with my top 3 photos of over 1000.



I lied. There are many more pictures that deserve the top 3 spots. But that's up for discussion.

Here's my own version of that previous image of Quito that I had found on Google.


10 points if you know what the blog title is referencing

oh em gee

I'm going to Ecuador in 13 days.

Dude.

I had my final Ecuador group meeting tonight and two students from Ecuador came in and spoke to us.

They made me love people from Ecuador. They talked about culture and how people will just come up to you and hug you and just care.

They also talked about the males there. It was entertaining. One of the women was like, "Have you ever heard of 'latin lovers?'" ;)

It was also really super nice to hear Spanish again. I miss it.

Alright. My disjointed thoughts must end for I have my anatomy/biology lab final tomorrow. Real finals start next week.


This is where I'll be my first day - Quito. (!!!!!!!ican'tbelievei'mgoingtoecuador!!!!!!!!!!yetistillhaven'tcometotermswith
