Welcome to the jungle.

I´ve been here at my site for about two weeks now. Time sure does fly in Ecuador. My site is amazing. I work with a foundation that´s basically run by this huge family. There is never a dull moment here at the caves! We had a minga last week to plant cacao and platano and also to finish the dry composting toilet. I helped them open a bank account (the bank in Tena has air conditioning...best two hours ever.) Other than that, I´ve been hanging out, tromping around the jungle, playing with the kids and learning to cook Ecuacuisine. I highly suggest that if you are reading this blog, you come to visit. Hope everything is amazing back in the states!

My computer died.

I am finally here at my site! It is hot, there are bugs, but there are also caves. And a tarantula that crawls up and down my wall, and a pet snake that is ´missing´. But other than that, I am in Ecuador and I love it. So, I had a blog entry all ready to go but my computer died while we were in Quito, so while it takes a vacation back to Tennessee, you all will just have to wait for updates and pictures. But in the meantime, if anyone wants to send me some sour patch kid watermelons, flip flops, twizzlers or just a nice little card, I can be easily reached at: Sarah Eldredge Casilla 15-01-35 Tena, Napo, Ecuador South America But that´s only if you want to :)
