We hit the ground running when we landed in Quito! Immediately when we got here we started the amazing race. It was four days of running all over Ecuador in teams of three including the interns and our Peruvian friends from the band Corban. We found ourselves taking buses, taxis, Chivas, motorcycles, and any means possible to reach our next clue. The clues took us up the Bacilica, running through the jungle, jumping off bridges, crossing 'Indian Jones' bridges, dancing folk dances, shaved my head, shot blow guns, and many other exciting adventures. Coming back to Quito where there were warm showers and real beds was all we wanted by the end.
Saturday my friends in Corban forgot some equipment for their show in the Jungle village of El Carmen, so another intern and I grabbed a bus and ran out to the show. It was a ton of fun and I'm very excited for them to come to the US. I hope all of you can catch them on their tour!
We have been doing some great training and are planning to head to Peru on Wednesday night. Pray for us as we get ready for a big summer and are looking forward to all it holds for us....
