Life in the Campo!

I live in a very rural area. Like a 20 minute walk from Cotacachi then a 30 minute bus ride to Otavalo where the offices I work in are located.

Today I went on a hike for work. Kevin and I were supposed to go with a French tourist but he never showed up so we ended up just the two of us going with the guide. Hector, our guide is a super cool guy that I had really interesting conversations with about organic agriculture and sustainability with during the drive up. The hike up was difficult, especially since I haven´t really excersised since leaving and because of the altitude. But we made it to the top just after the clouds rolled in so we couldn´t see any of the view. Oh well, good times. The way down was a big game of trying not to slide too much. It resulted in lots of laughter and mud all over my pants...good thing I have to wash all my clothes by hand here.

More about my family and internship later. This is going to be an adventure!
