hello, well this is my first foreign entry. here i am in ecuador, i´m sitting out a tropical storm, whilst trying to navigate this site in spanish! apart from that everything is going well, my host family is lovely and i´m going on a trip with the other volunteers this weekend. i can´t quite believe that i´m on the other side of the world just yet. every morninng i look out of the window and sort of expect to see the back of ´bretts´and smell the chip fat but no i look out over the andes and smell no chip fat! wonderful. no photos from ecuador yet but i´ll get round to it soon. a big thakn you to my techincal support for the first set of photos- cheer drew you´re a sweetheart! mwah mwah! must go home for tea- and the rain has eased off. x
