Hellooooo family and friends! We’re having a good time but we miss you all. Today we woke up at 7AM and had a full breakfast. After breakfast, we watched “The Last Ice Merchant”, a documentary featuring Baltazar Ushca and his life. Later, we went to the Guano museum and had a great opportunity to meet him in person! During our time at the museum, we saw a mummified body of one of the first rulers to travel to Ecuador and the process of making chola, a sweet bread. Next to the museum was a playground that had a zipline, swings, see-saws, slides, and a spinning wheel at which we all had an amazing time! After, we had thirty minutes of free time in the city of Guano where we shopped for souvenirs and snacked on ice cream. Following that, we had lunch and more free time in which Glimpsers got haircuts, crepes, ponchos, blankets, extra souvenirs, and shopped for CAP (Community Action Project). Towards the end of the day, we had dinner then came back to our hotel for our nightly meeting where we passedthe torch to tomorrow’s LDD’s and wrapped up for the night. Tomorrow y’all will be hearing from Haylin and Asia, Thursday’s LDD’s. The pair performed a skit that represented the social culture of the East Side. Thanks for coming to our TED talk. We’ll be home soon. <3 🙂

Hi Adri! Sounds like you’re learning a lot. Maybe you can perform a skit for us when you get home hitting all the highlights. You can start practicing now if you want!
I’m having zero luck getting you a hair appt so you might just have to hold your head out the window on way to Sr pictures and go for that “natural” look. I hear it’s the “in” thing right now and I know how much you love to conform. Not much else going on here. The dog needs a bath. Rolex had hives but he’s better now. Boo had a mat but I pulled it right off. And well you know what the cat is like.. Genie and I watched Winter Soldier in your honor. Cap has regained his rightful place at the top of the fav list. Thor is just too silly. Have a great day. Love and miss you much! Love, mom.
Shannon! We all miss you but we’re so glad to hear you’re having a good time! Did I see in one of the last blogs that your hair is shorter than when you left?? Looks like someone followed through on that haircut! (maybe? hard to tell guess I’ll find out Tuesday) Uncle Ron and everyone else were so excited to see some of the posts on what you guys have been up to. They all say hi! I can’t wait to have you home and hear all about this experience! Love, your favorite sister <3
Hi guys!
Wow, what a fantastic day! Museum, shopping, ice cream and free time & zip lines! how cool.
Mikael did you cut your hair? lol jk
