Found you! Hi Anna
So good to see this page and read about your adventures. Its gets my feet itchy. I hope life is still treating you well. I'm very well and enjoying life!
Anna,
Reading your journal entries makes me want to go back to Ecuador (esp. La Hesperia). US is not even comparable to a tenth of Ecuador when it comes to the fun factor (make it everything). I've been thinking about Ecuador a lot lately. It was probably the best thing that has ever happened to my life. I just have this feeling of wanting to go back always.
A lot has changed about me. I tore my ACL, so I cannot do sport until I get a surgery and recover completely. I have gained my weight back and it is sad.
I guess that's life. Only memories remain and everyone must walk through life a step at a time.
Best regards,
Nurm
You've been busy! Very nice, Anna; I see you're having a great time too! Wish you the best on your vocano climb - enjoy but stay safe. Don't forget to carry adequate water. Until next...
wish i was there !!! Hi Anna
great to hear your news and see the fantastic photos and learn more about this fascinating country you are in.
I guess i just feel more amd more jealous of what you are doing and the expereinces you are having.
the mire here seems to get worse, and feels particulalry reinforced now as we enter the last week of Julie being with us.
Anyway, enough of my wallowing. Continue to have a fantastic time. Do hope we see you again when you are back in the UK. do take care

Thank you!!!!

and the work is? Hi Anna
You've written this beautifully and it makes a really good read..All your trips sound amazing and I'm rather green ( though not about the hiking!), however I was under the impression that this trip was meant to involve volunteer work and not just volunteer trips...have I got that wrong? All the best, love Neila
Amazing! Ecuador is such a beautiful country and these photos you have are phenominal! I´m here in Guayaquil voulenteering at a school. I´ve been here for almost a month and I´ll be heading back to the States on the 11th of next month. It´d be great to hear from you! If you don´t mind, of course, I´d love to ask you and your friends questions about ECU. I have my own blog at www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/shir
Hey Anna! Great to see a new update from you. I wish we could be out there on the Quilotoa loop too. We're gonna do it, though, at least that's the plan: to see areas of Ecuador we didn't get to on our visit. Even though we saw quite a bit (central sierra, manabi and guayas coast, y Guayaquil) that was really just an appetizer as there's so much more to see. We hope to go through where the reserve is and take a peek in there along the way. It's quite inspiring to see your pictures and read about your adventurous sojourning. Shir's been keeping us hasta la fecha with her blog, a real blessing to us back home. Hope you have a great week - should be gorgeous up around Otavalo as well - take care!
Wow !!! Anna - what a lucky girl you are !! looks fantastic. thanks for sharing with us through the wonderful photos. Hope this finds you well and happy. take care Steve x
What an experience Another great blog, Anna, to describe an experience that is beyond description! But those of us who are still waiting to experience the Galapagos islands now know a good deal more than we did, and of course it inspires us more. Thanks for sharing :)
Hi Anna. WGBH (public television) is currently airing "Monty Python's Personal Best," and I saw the Dead Parrot sketch for the first time. It made me think of you guys. :)
I hope you are doing well, and have a lovely time in the Galapagos.
felicitaciones I'm enjoying your fun adventures and interesting photos from your writings. I'm in the EEUU but recently had a wonderful trip to Ecuador. Next time I go I would like to visit your reserve; it is a fascinating place. Just wanted to say thanks for putting this together here where any of us interested parties can come check out your magical home-away-from-home, and to inform you that your efforts are appreciated beyond the circle which you may have expected! I really hope the political unrest smooths over and dries up, and that relations become amiable - soon. Blessings on the rest of your trip, including your jaunt to Galapagos.

Wow! HI Anna!
This is the first of your blog entries I've looked at (sorreeee!) and it's *amazing*! Ecuador just sounds more and more like a magical alternate world. Is the scorpion a permanent bathtime companion, like a rubber duck, only different?
My wildlife experiences are: Gound Elder; Dandelions; lovely Patrick next door who keeps giving my garden funny looks (his is immaculate). We get the odd wild earthworm here too, so it's not all leafy serenity.
Hooray that everything seems to be going so well.
I'm off the read the rest of your blog now...

Spooky The Good Friday procession reminds me of spooky things that go on in the Outer Hebrides in the dark months.
They chain up the childrens swings on Sundays you know jxx

Hi! I am leaving the UK in March 06 to go to Ecuador and help to build a school on a local conservation reserve a couple of hours from the capital city Quito. I'm hoping to do a bit of touring around Peru and Bolivia while I'm there.... full info

not a centipede
That's a giant millipede(two legs per segment) of the flat-backed variety(Polydesmidae).
