Going home...

About and hour away from Guayaquil, thousands of feet in the air

Its really funny how things go full circle. I arrived back this afternoon to the hostal to find Paul talking to the owners, who it turns out come from Medellin! Then, watching the crappy airplane TV show just now it did a feature on the Spanish works of Botero... The famous Colombian artist and sculpturist who lived in Medellin and whose collection and gallery we visited while we were there. Its hard to imagine that we were in Colombia just over a week ago, but even harder to take in the amazing 7 days we just spent in Ecuador.

I have always found it hard to put my feelings into words... but for the last 3 weeks my feeling right now can be summed up in one... Grateful. I'm not quite sure to who, there are too many... I'm not sure for what, there's so much... But I think in terms of knowledge and understanding of the world around me this has been the most amazing three weeks of my life.
