This morning we are driving to Quito. Tomorrow evening we fly from Quito and arrive home late Saturday afternoon. As we prepare to leave Ecuador, there are many mixed feelings.
WHAT I WILL MISS MOST ABOUT ECUADOR...
The people - their warmth, friendliness, and high value on relationships.
Social activities - they know how to have fun, make time to play and be with each other.
Community - children and families live in a supportive and close community.
The music - so expressive and such an integral part of this culture.
The mountains, lakes and scenery - God's extravagant beauty.
The architecture - colorful, creative, little wasted space.
The indigineous people - the way they have preserved their colorful traditions.
The church buildings - old, beautiful, full of art to express the biblical story.
The church people - they know how to celebrate and are not embarrased of public expressions.
The weather - nearly perfect temperatures year round.
The markets - fruit markets, artisan markets, meat markets, flower markets, food markets, etc.
The bread - fresh baked bread of all types on every street corner.
The fruit - the sweetest and greatest variety of fruit you can imagine.
The juices - juice at every meal made fresh directly from the fruit.
The meals - very satisfying and yet I was able to lose wieght.
WHAT I WILL NOT MISS WHEN I RETURN HOME...
The roads - bumpy, filled with potholes, unpaved, drivers rule.
The drivers - they are very impatient, reckless, and constantly blowing horns.
Waiting - things seem to be rarely on schedule.
Malaria medication.
