Unforgettable memories of Ecuador!



1.       Laying in the bed of a truck laughing, while driving through Quito late at night.
2.       “Dolor de espalda” in an old grandpa voice.
3.       Dancing to “I lost my underwear.”
4.       Dancing in a circle downtown while everyone cheered.
5.       Driving through the night, not knowing what to expect, and waking up in the jungle.
6.       Eating conejo with the nuns.
7.       Mucho camel toe. It is everywhere here. Maybe because every woman wears the nastiest spandex pants.
8.       Our failed attempt at chocolate chip cookies. The missionaries still loved them because they were deprived, but they were disgusting!
9.       The senior missionary telling us that we really needed to marry his son because “his old man is loaded.”
10.   Boobs being whipped out right and left in Tena to nurse the babies.
11.   Also…. Apparently it isn’t weird for a man to pee in the middle of the street.
12.   Singing ghost busters almost every night at dinner with the boys and cousins while doing the Michelle Stratton dance.
13.   The Nasty slobbery kisses we both received by the creepy man on the bus, along with a million compliments about our hair, eyes, skin ,teeth, and whatever else he could think of.
14.    CRAZY DRIV ING!  And LOTS of honking!
15.   How expensive anything American is. Mac and Cheese is 2.50 for a box and a normal sized candy bar is 1.50. Clothes are super expensive too! The only thing that is cheaper here is the fruit and the pirated movies.
16.   Granadillas and all of the delicious fruits that we were never able to try in the states.
17.   A few unexpected DPFs.
18.   Making up fake stories to avoid history lessons from Juan.
19.   Kassara eating potato soup with dried flakes of blood in it and PLENTY of Mati’s saliva from being spit back into the bowl a million times.
20.   Realizing that black people speak gangster, no matter what the language.
21.   Sneaking illegal pictures in the cemetery and basilica. They might have pointed us out in the congregation and asked us to stop, but if they did, we didn’t understand!
22.   Playing the weird Ecuadorian slap game that the cousins taught us, and watching Mati have a freak out because we were slapping his brother.
23.   All of Washington’s sarcastic remarks to us. Telling Kassara that she is half donkey, half monkey, telling us that we are the reason the car bottoms out because we are so fat, etc. He is a funny man!
24.   Beans and rice with KFC.
25.   Skittles OVERDOSE.
26.   Dominos pizza sent from heaven after a nasty bug soup with the nuns.
27.   Singing the Lorax songs with Mati and Josue over and over and over again.
28.   Riding in a bed of the truck in the jungle while it was pouring and screaming “LLUVIA!” with Meg Larson and lots of little boys.
29.   Ashley stopping a school bus thinking they were a taxi and asking them to take us to the mall!
30.   Hearing the people make announcements from their loud speakers on their trucks in the morning, and feeling like we were in the middle of a war.
