A day in the life...

Hello everyone!!
Just want to start out by explaining the following: Yes, a volcano erupted on the Galapagos Islands yesterday; No we are not there until tuesday; and No we will not be near the eruption-we will be a 10 hour boat ride away from that island. We just wanted to clear that up! Now, about today....
We had a wonderful day completing our community project. We drove about 30 minutes to a small village in Quito called Santa Isabel where we took part in 2 different community service activities.
First we helped dig 3 new planting beds for the community garden and then we went to the local child care facility. This area of Quito is very different from what we are used to here in CT and the kids really enjoyed themselves. While the girls were helping to feed the little ones lunch, the boys played soccer with some of the older children. It was a very rewarding, yet eye opening day that was enjoyed by all.
Tomorrow we have a 5:30 am wake-up call for our early flight to the Galapagos!!! We will try and post as often as we can but the internet can be unpredictable. Now off to bed for an early start!!!
