Ecuador 9: The Numbers

My visit to Ecuador by the Numbers

15- Number of kids I will personally adopt and bring to the United States when I strike it rich someday.
12- Number of chicks born to hens at the Piuri household.
9- Number of empanadas eaten by yours truly.
8- Number of freezing cold showers I had to take while in Yamana.
3- Number of times the kids tried to get me to watch "The Gods Must Be Crazy 3." (Like I said, they love weird American pop culture there).
2- Number of pets named after me. (1 pitbull, 1 parakeet)
1- Number of volcanoes that erupted during my visit. (Tungurahua)

Ecuador is a truly amazing place, and I probably have not done it justice through these postings. If you ever have the chance, go to this beautiful country. If you want to help support the community of Yamana, I will be sending a few boxes of used american clothes down to the village around Christmas time. If you are someone I will be seeing before then, SAVE YOUR GIVEAWAY CLOTHES and I will include them in the boxes. Sending nice american clothes is the best thing that i have personally figured out we can do for the people of Yamana, being so far away and everything. If you want to know other ways to help, you can always contact me : )

Thanks for reading. Best wishes to you all.

Bliss
