So many questions! The people here are friendly, and most of them are very patient with my Spanish. Ecuador actually is on the U.S. dollar, so I haven't had to exchange money (although bills larger than a $10 -- sometimes even a $5 -- are very difficult to break, as no one ever seems to have change). What's interesting about the money, though, is that even though they use U.S. currency, they also have their own coins. And as far as that last question goes, well, when I know the answer I'll let you know :)
so wonderful emily, i am living this trip thru you, i wish i had done something like this when i was single and footloose, not that i ever was! how will the rest of your life compare to this month or so that you have been traveling?
hope you visit us when you return if you have time! love uncle ray
wow did you get close to any of the monkees? And were there any people really seriously fishing? Hope you are bringing pics back girl. How humid is humid and how hot is it?
Sorry, Allie . . . . . . but I don't have any pictures :( Diego had us leave our cameras behind that day. I think he was afraid we would tip the canoes over!
so so nice em, those pictures are wonderful - how lucky you are to see such cool churches and all. and how interesting about the Virgin Mary - which culture do you think is correct in their presentation? come on! pick one! one culture has to be wrong!!!
