Starting the blog...

So I'm starting this blog as a way to share my adventures in Ecuador and beyond. Last semester I wasn't so good at keeping in touch with the rest of the world and this is my way of telling the stories of my travels this semester. I called it Every day's an adventure because when traveling abroad you never know what's going to happen from day to day. The best way to stay sane is to simply see it all as an adventure.

I leave for Ecuador next Tuesday (Aug 23). Tomorrow is visa day. As soon as I pick up my police record from the police department tomorrow morning, I will have all my documents ready to go. Thanks to the Ecuadorian consulate in Chicago's refusal to answer their phone, I get to send all my papers to DC as opposed to driving to Chicago. Hopefully, it will work out (as in I get my visa before I leave which I have to). I'm just glad I don't have to drive to Chicago. I've done more than enough driving for one summer.

Time for bed!
