Lima airport
Here is Josh waiting to get on our plane from Lima, Peru, to Guayaquil, Ecuador. Hello everyone,
I´m not going to write too much...
Ecuador is incredible (such an awful, stale word 'incredible'). The people are very friendly, and, interestingly enough, very interested in us. Everyone we meet wants to talk to us, know where we´re from, instead of trying to sell us something. As the months wear on, many travellers have vacated the country, returning to their homes after a summer abroad. There are not many foreigners (extraneros) in Loja, as of right now.
The hills are golden amber, dry from months of harsh sun exposure. The sky is expansive, filled with clouds moving quickly across the sky, and lush green valleys settled between the hills. The valleys hold animals, banana trees (Ecuador is south america´s leading producer of bananas), papayas, avacados, scorpions, a particular, hallucinogenic cactus named San Pedro, and quiet people who greet us with warm smiles and friendly talk.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Love,
Ellie, Josh, and Caitlin
