Well, today is mi último día in Peñaherrera. Tomorrow I am heading back to Quito! It will be quite a contrast. But I am excited! Spending a few days in Quito finishing up my project, and then Sunday our whole group is reuniting and heading to a place called La Hesperia, a biological reserve in another area of cloud forest. We're spending a few days there to do our presentations and wrap up the semester. Then back to Quito for a couple days, attempting to climb Cotopaxi with some amigos, and a few days on the coast. I'm heading back to Maine on the 20th! This semester has flown by and has been absolutely amazing. I can't believe the places I have gotten to see and all of the experiences I've had - looking for monkeys the Amazon, snorkeling with tortoises in the Galápagos, fútbol games, parasites twice, and living in the cloud forest for almost a month, to name a few. This Thanksgiving was my first far from home, but I did get to skype with a bunch of family which was great. So grateful for this opportunity to travel! It still feels unreal at times to be here. Looking forward to heading home in just a few weeks to spend the holidays with family and friends!
Hasta luego!
