Let the countdown begin!

It seems downright shocking to me that Ben and I will be leaving for Quito in a week...but it's true! We fly out of Cinci next Wednesday, June 28 and will be arriving in Quito later in the evening.

We do have a few details to report as to what we'll be doing for the first bit of our adventure. We will be staying in a friend of a friend's apartment when we first arrive in Quito. For the first two or three weeks, we will be studying at the Vida Verde school. This is not the same school I attended in 2004, but is only two blocks away. I should be able to find our way around!

Another exciting announcement: my Dad and Grandma will be visiting us in Quito this summer! They will be coming down for a week in September and we will get to show them all around our new hometown. I can't wait for them to come visit. They can let everyone know how great of hosts we are so that more people will come visit us over the next year or so... :)
