Adios Olympia...

So, as promised, I'm going to keep a blog while I'm in Ecuador. I don't really know at this point how often I'll have access to internet or how frequently I'll be able to update this, but I'll do my best.

I LEAVE TOMORROW!

This is super exciting. I've always thought of study abroad as this crazy, far away thing that I never actually saw happening, and it's finally here, and I can't wait! It's just slightly less cool when I realize that I'll be leaving my house at 3am and won't make it to Ecuador until around 10pm, but, nevertheless, it remains awesome. To give you some idea of how I'll spending my next four months, I'll be traveling around Ecuador (primarily in and around the capital city of Quito) studying "Culture and Development," speaking lots of Spanish, living with host families, exploring, and generally having an amazing time (or so I hope).

Goodbyes have been said, and I'm finally all packed, even if it feels like too much and too little all at once... Now my only goal for tonight is to get an hour or two of sleep before I leave for my day of travel, but I'll try to update when I'm able to find internet in Ecuador. Goodbye, Washington! ¡Hola, Ecuador!

  1. Ya le dije, ¡pero suerte y que disfrute mucho!

    Voy a leer su blog para ver sus aventuras (ja!) y todo. Debemos crear una lista de los blogs de Whitties en latinoamerica para seguirlos. ¡Hay que ser bastante!

    Que le vaya muy bien, chiquitica.
