Hello everyone,
We began our day loading the buses at around 8:00 AM. We had breakfast, which included empanadas, fruit salad, hot chocolate, and tea, on the go. The ride there was about an hour and on our way, we got to see a herd of alpacas on the side of the road. Looking out the windows, we realized we were heading above the cloud cover on the mountain and people began to feel the altitude. When we got there we had time for pictures and we drove back down a bit to begin our hike. After the hour long hike, we loaded the buses back up and returned to our hostel to get ready for lunch at Nativa.
After lunch we had to rush back to the hostel to get ready for English tutoring, and at 5:30 PM, we headed back to the hostel for a small break before dinner. After dinner, many of us were excited to grab snacks on our way back to the hostel. We concluded the evening with our nightly meeting, ending yet another successful day. We have a busy three days ahead of us as we work on our Community Action Project, but we’ll keep you posted as always every night. Until tomorrow.
Your Líderes del Día,

Hi Miriam,
Sounds like a great day. I read that Chimborazo is the closest place to space on Earth. Looking forward to hearing about the CAP.
Love and miss you lots,
Mom, Dad, Maya & Gemma

We hope you are warm enough. It looks chilly but fun. We miss you. Love Mom & Dad
Olivia, reading these blogs is the highlight of our day! That hike up the volcano must have been spectacular (I hope you took plenty of pictures). We are so happy that you’ve had the opportunity to experience this amazing adventure! We miss you and are looking forward to seeing you but also want you to continue enjoying your time in Ecuador and live it all up, which it sounds like you are doing. Love, Mama & Papa :-)*
Hi Kelly,
What an exciting adventure and another milestone to mark off!! Chimborazo is the highest mountain on Earth and only a few hiker attempts to reach its 6,268m summit. So proud of you and the team for being there, what a great experience it was for everyone. I miss you so much and can’t wait to see you!!!
Love, Mom & Dad
Yoooooo yeli. Guess. What. Idk how but freaking shiloh got out of her hamster cage. I remember closing it but she must’ve had like super strength and pushed that top thing open. Dont worry. I got her. I thought it was a rat. I was about to stomp on her but when I turned on the kitchen lights, it didnt move and resembled shiloh a lot. So yeah. I was playing fortnite though. Anyways. Hope your enjoying global glimpse yeli. I will take you to wing stop when my paycheck hits which MIGHT be this friday. So saturday or sunday. Whichever you prefer.
Hey Nancy!
It is a such a coincidence that you are on your Global Glimpse during the same time I went last year. Looking at this blog is making me reminisce on all the great times I had at Leon Nicaragua #L2A! I bet you and the rest of your delegation are having a wonderful time. It flies by so make the most of your time in Ecuador. The day you had sounded really fun and interesting! The whole trip is amazing and I hope you are having fun! Can’t wait for you to tell me all about it when you get back. ?
From,
Jeremiah ✌?✌?✌?✌?

Wow Andrea! I’m pretty sure the views from the Chimborazo were stunning! Hope you took lots of pictures. I think I found you in the group picture – everybody is so wrapped up to keep warm that is hard to tell 🙂 Have a fantastic time and make the best out of it. This is one in a lifetime experience! We all miss you very much, Mom, Papa, Abby, Gypsy and Cashy
