In the States, days off of school usually include sleeping in, staying in my pajamas until 2pm, eating a lot, running some errands, and maybe visiting a few friends. In Ecuador days off school include adventures. Luh my life.
I climbed my first mountain today. I did it. I conquered Pichincha...all 15,000 plus feet. An 8 hour hike of rocks, cliffs, valleys, sand dunes, breathtaking views, pee in my pants moments, hail storms, crazy good conversations, and the wonderful feeling of sore legs and incredible achievement marked this adventure day. I couldn't have done it without my obnoxiously hilarious and supportive comrades by my side and my favorite sweatshirt guiding my every move. Praise Him.
