We're Off!!

Jan. 10
The first butterflies came to me just a few minutes ago, and now that we've closed our suitcases and put them by the door, all the planning and computer work now is on its own and our long flight looms ahead. We're pumped! I don't know exactly what to expect, but I'll bet I am surprised. Too many movies have colored my South American thoughts, and our earlier travels to Peru and Ecuador don't necessarily translate the same for every country in America del sur. So, we are excited about learning two (or more) new cultures, enjoying unknown architecture, seeing some new and splendid geography, getting brave enough to speak Spanish, and many other new experiences that will have an effect on us for the rest of our lives. We're off wth some great expectations. I'm eager to tell you what we're doing and grateful that you are interested in hearing about it. Muchas gracias!
