Indiana Andrea Hi Andrea-I just finished reading all of your blogs at once. I can picture it like a movie -so much fun ! Did the ants crawl around before you could swallow ? A lemon drop will never be the same again ! I can't wait to see your pictures. We miss you-Love, Cathy
and if all fails, have some lemon ants! Hay Andrea...La cancion dice:"Yo te quiero con limon y sal... Como es que si te comes las hormigas de limon y no las patas de pollo?
It was nice to hear you from you on Sunday! Those monkeys no tienen verguenza! I'm glad to hear you made it back to Quito from the Jungle in one piece and just a few mosquito bites. Keep up with all your adventures... This is just as good as the Discovery Chanell xoxox Mom

Tremendas vacaciones!!!! Andrea me da mucho gusto que te estes divirtiendo de lo grande, que emocion que has podido descubrir gentes de todas partes y que han sido amables con ustedes, tambien se ve que gritaste tanto que hasta la garganta te dolio. Que barbara que experiencia tan bonita. Toma muchas fotos que quiero oir tus historias cuando regreses nuevamente. Que tengas unos dias muy bonitos en Cuenca con tu familia de por alla.

La gran aventura Ay Andrea!!I laugh so much picturing the bus rides, la chiva, the bridge...you falling back...how fun. I know what you mean when you put you trust completely in people or situations that don't make a lot of sense ... They probably think we have tooooo many rules!... Que sera, sera.... Muchos besos tu mama.
HOLA- Durazno How are you my dearest princes of Varsovia? Sounds like you are eatting a lot and playing a lot and for that I am happy :-) As that is the best education.
That game ... what you call crasy eight.. well it does translate to a different line in English but I let you work on that yourself LOL.
Rashito is doing well and we have gone and visit your grandma and gone out for few trips with the family- Very different from a year ago. NICE! Rash LOVES the ... whait a minute.. you dont care about dogs.. what am I talking to you about my Rash... well I see him as a kid. He is so spoiled.. I have 7 different costumes for EL DIA DE LAS BRUJAS o MUERTOS... he he
Work is fine and now Alaska Airlines is flying to Hawaii so Chad and I can go there any time we want... want to come over one time?
I hope you have a lot of fun.. AVOID MCDONALS or anything that has a ® next to it as it came from USA.. you will get sick.. Try the local things and take pictures.
Any chance you can tell me a little about the deaf people there? Can you get me a book of SIGNS in that country? I will pay you back.
Love you and I am very happy you are doing this blog.
We read it ... and like the CHICKEN FEET soup... he he that happen to me in San Francisco California... yes the chickens in US also have feet... the rest its just what you call Hot-Dogs...that unlike my DOG.. he is a Rash but its cute clean and all Vegan.
Love you lots
Ruben/ Chad and Rash.
So good to hear about your adventures!
In Ecuador do they have taco stands like?
What do they eat on the run other than McDonlads.
Have fun at the BANOS!
meat, dvd's, malls sounds like you are on a field trip to kirkland.
so if the 'big kahuna' did not want us to eat
animals, then why did he/she put meat all over em?
remeber to visit the 'real' equator...
Que suerte I think this is my second atempt???
Andreita, It's so nice to hear from you. I love your journal entries. It's good to know that the people from Ecuador take such pride and share with you their culture in so many ways. Did you go to the Futbol!! We love to see pictures and less I'm not navigating this blog thing very well?? We love you and miss you ! Tu mama cachimba
Me parece que estA un buen viaje. Mi experiencia en EspaNa es muy bueno tambiEn. Pero, los costumbres y la gente son muy diferentes que pensE antes de venir--algunas cosas mejor y otras peor. Y todo aquI cuesta mAs que en los Estados Unidos. Por eso tienes la ventaja que pueda hacer mAs excursiones y experimentar mAs aspectos de la vida hispana que yo. Necesitamos reunirnos cuando regrese a los Estados Unidos para hablar mAs. Que tengas muchas experiencias nuevas. Un beso! Amanda
