Si! Si me gusta!

OK, so I think I'm finally home. We made it back from Peru last Sunday, arriving sometime around 10:30 AM. Four days later I was back on a plane to KC - I flew back so I could drive with Betsy to Phoenix. So that was all day Friday and Saturday. Sunday? Um, I'm not quite sure what happened to Sunday.

But... I HAVE A JOB!!!!!! I took a full time position with Mesa Community College! It's only a one year appointment, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be Nutrition Faculty. THANK YOU LORI! This will help me decide if I really want to teach someday. For now, I'm hoping to teach 3 sections of Principles of Human Nutrition, Gourmet Foods, and Food for Fun & Fitness. 15 hours- whew! I'm really excited, though. :) My first day is August 15th, so I have a few days to catch up and work on projects around the house.

I'm going to get our film developed tomorrow, so I'll have fun pictures to post. For now, here's a few to sample... I've got to get myself back on track.

This is Quito - where we spent our first couple of days. We stayed with a friend of Hilary's.

Our second day there, we went to Otavalo - a village about 2 hours away by bus, where you can find artesianas - handicrafts made my the locals. Beautiful textiles.

We also visited Peguche falls - near Otavalo - only an 18 cent bus ride away...

Cuidado! Gringos!


Our lovely group - Travis, Me, Hilary & Kerry. What a bunch of gringos!
