VISAS!

We have VISAS! Woo Hoo! I was so relieved I could have cried, but I didn't. Plus they're fancy visas! Also, we registered and paid for our jungle trip! Another thing crossed off the check list. We decided on this trip.

Tomorrow we're heading off bright and early to climb Illinizas. We've got tasty snacks packed. I'm baking pumpkin scones for the car ride in the morning. Plus I made chili for when we get home. That way we don't have to think about cooking, just reheating. I'm assuming we'll be drained!

Photos to come!

Just a few things...

1. We have one week of class left. WHAT?!

2. We're going today to book our jungle trip and to pick up our visas. Wish us luck.

3. I'm so proud of Ryan because he figured out how to post our bed and refrigerator on Mercado Libre and the bed has already sold! WOO HOO! Keep your fingers crossed that the refrigerator sells soon too!

4. We're climbing Illiniza tomorrow and still looking for someone to come and give Chuki a walk! If you're in Quito and are available tomorrow afternoon to walk and feed the pup, call us! There's a bottle of rum waiting for you!

5. Our to do list is getting much shorter. Almost everything concerning Chuki is done, except for his last vet visit and going to the airport to pay his export fee (or whatever the heck it is).

6. Speaking of Chuki, I feel like he's doing better already. He has no fresh scratch wounds and his eyes look clearer. It could just be my imagination...

7. We've watched almost 2 seasons of LOST in less than a month. It's borderline obsession.

8. We're taking 'orders' if anybody wants anything Ecuadorian brought home to them. There will be a post on it coming soon!

I think that's about it. If I think of anything else, I'll update!

MULUB,
Taylor

Project Number 2 - Day 30 (Thursday)

We finally had groceries yesterday morning for breakfast so I made my favorite. I guess I didn't really make anything; I more like assembled it. Yogurt, strawberries and 1/2 a banana. The other half with peanut butter. Plus coffee. MMM I missed it.

Then for lunch Ryan and I had the other two flatbread doughs. I topped each with 1 tomato, 1.5 green peppers and 1/2 an onion. Plus a little salt, pepper, garlic powder and mozzarella cheese.

For a snack I had a banana and a glass of warm milk (courtesy of my student).

Dinner was one of Ryan's favorites... rice. Rice and veggies to be exact. Since we switched Chuki's food to quinoa and not rice, we have a lot of rice made in the fridge. Basically all he does is chop up some veggies (last night we had peppers, onions, broccoli, and carrots); saute them; add rice; add seasonings; eat. Super simple. Super tasty!

The day was basically food, LOST, and class. That's it because we were both feeling blah.
