I’ve now finished up my second week in Ecuador. I’m still doing OK, for the most part. Not seeing my family is a huge downer though. Abby turned 4 weeks old today, and Alanna said Logan was telling some random kid at Chick-Fil-A that his dad is in Ecuador. Thankfully I have Skype and can see/talk to them everyday, but that extra personal affection of a touch is something that nothing can replace.

The last week went by slowly but surely. Turns out the spot we picked (before we moved) to live in Quito isn’t the best place for us. Its not horrible, but its just not the right spot for a family. Alanna would be stuck inside all day and it takes me about an hour each way to get to and from school. So while Quito has lots of neat stuff to do, we’ve decided to move to Tumbaco, a smaller, greener, flatter town located much closer to the school. I began looking at places last Monday. I was stood up by realtors twice, cancelled on twice and generally had rotten luck with the search. Thankfully near the end of the week I found a perfect place for us and I’ll be signing the lease for it in a few days. AND…. Alanna says I can have a scooter. I am so excited. Driving here is a big crazy, but with a scooter I can take the back roads and get to work easily enough. Did I mention I’m excited? Alanna technically says I have to wait though and make sure its in our budget. Budget, smudget. Hopefully I can have it by November.

School is going well still. The students start next Monday, so I’m still getting things in order. I got a computer in my classroom today. And they cleaned it. And they added mirrors. I’m moving up in the world. Oh, and I’m totally getting a scooter.
