A Few of Our Favorite Things: Tumbaco Edition

Here we are in beautiful Tumbaco, Ecuador on the cusp of the Rainy Season (I think it started early here actually) and we couldn’t be happier. Here’s a brief list of a few things that have made us smile so far.

Napping with the sound of the rain in the background
Watching a cow be chased by five dogs around a field
Laughing with our host mom after a Paul faux pas
Watching the clouds lift and the mountains emerge
Walking around the open air market with our host mom
Recognizing the Ecuador smell as soon as we arrived at the Training Center
Having the top floor of our host family’s house to ourselves
Chatting with other Trainees during breaks
Cheering for El Oriente at a gorgeous fútbol stadium with mountain views
Walking around our neighborhood and marveling at the avocado, mango, and lime trees
