The artwork on my desk in conversation class.. pretty rad yeah?
There has been one coup, (which was completely ridiculous in my opinion and solved nothing). I have lost 15 pounds, yes that number is accurate. Maybe I am too cheap to buy lunch sometimes and I walk a ton. I feel physically great. No lung problems anymore... just breathe shallowly and you'll get over Quito air. Minus this lymph lump under my chin... you can see it now. Yes mom I'll see a doctor or something...
The classes as we shall say in spanish "dejan mucho que desear" leave much to be desired. But I do what I can. Although my Social Problems in Ecuador course I think might have pointed me to my thesis subject: Drug trafficking and its effect on the jungle, agriculture, the people. Its not really narrowed down yet... more research to come.
Katherine and I have a lovely weekend planned. A trip to the movies to watch Eclipse (lame, but its tradition.. long story). And then Friday we'll head to Otavalo, a famous market here in Ecua 2 hours north of Quito... some retail therapy shall be nice.
Love you all.

I love the artwork. Someone has talent.
Otavalo sounds like fun :) Wish I were there with you, or you here with me (not that I'm doing anything fun).

Whitney...how are you doing my love? We are back home, had a fabulous time in Chelan and at Sun Mountain. We came home via North Cascades Highway and it was perfect weather the whole time.
Adding pictures to the blog and FB soon. When can you skype? I am going with Nathan and Lina tomorrow to Chelan, coming back on Sunday. Jenni will be here for a few days, Grandma and Grandpa Sikes are having a barbecue to celebrate. More to say, can't wait to talk to you. Can you skype during the week? Please see a doctor about your swollen lymph node. Love you. Momma
Hi Whit
I worry a bit that you two young girls are venturing out on your own, but I guess there's no stopping you. I'll just continue to pray for your safety (and I do that often).
Your health is a concern too. Find a doctor..maybe ask the American embassy where they go.
The weight loss hmm? Might want to get some tests to make sure you haven't contracted some parasite from the water. Definitely a possibility.
It's too bad the education isn't that interesting after all that is what you are there for. Take care love..aunt dee
