I arrived home last night at around 8:30. We left Cochrane and the Bolivians at around 11 and it was so hard. Even though we are going to see them in two months it is still hard to say goodbye.
I'm in Salmon Arm for two weeks and then we are flying to Toronto to all meet up and then to Quito where we will meet up with Carrie, our supervisor.
We have found out a bit about our host community in Ecuador. It has a population of around 500 and is mostly made up of indigenous and mestizo people. The Quechua people are a very politically strong group and speak their indigenous language as well as Spanish. We will not have hot water, internet, telephones, or maybe electricity in all of our homes. I'm really looking forward to it. I think it will be a pretty amazing experience.
For now though I am here in Salmon Arm preparing to go!
