Flag of Ecuador  ,
Friday, August 19, 2005

Tourists go to Mindo to watch the thousands of exotic bird species do their thing and get a taste of the tropical climate just a couple hours from Quito. Most people usually don't jot Mindo down for a night of painting murals on the local Red Cross, sleeping in a jungle cabin by a big soothing river, and a hike for a repel down a face of a waterfall, well that's what went on in Omnibus 94, Youth and Families style.

Hey!
Jackson it seems you are having quite the time in Ecuador! I really enjoy looking at the pictures and I am surprised to see how everyone's experience in the Peace Corps is different. Thanks for keeping up on your life with pictures and notes its great!

Re: Hey!
Whitney,

Thanks for the note. This training has been a great experience indeed. But as far as comparing it to your friend´s experience in Africa, don´t do that just yet. In less then two weeks is when my service really starts and is when the fun really starts.

Enjoy this next year at UArizona.. it´s crazy that everyone is going back and for the first time in my life... I am not. That being said, it´s time to go celebrate my 23rd bday here on the Equator.

Thanks for the note, stay in touch.

Hey you!!
Jeff,
Thank you for adding me to your travel photo list :)
I love to get the updates. It sure looks like you are having a great time, I am sure better than sitting behind a desk being an accountant!! (hehe)Everything is good here, it is pouring down rain right now and thundering (pretty loudly) I may add. I miss talking with you, keep me updated on your travels and life :) Take care!
Yvonne
