I dont care if you had to hike and deal with Trantulas, because honestly it will be so hard for you guys to ever experience that again. That was the part of the trip I was looking forward to most and I can tell the postive things out weighed the negative. How many people honestly get to say they have visited and stayed with Indegnous people of the Amazon in an untouched area of the Amazon rainforest? I honestly envy you because even if I wouldve stayed I would have been aat miramalindo all week, granted a spa would have been nice but it could not compare to the oppurtunity you guys got. I hope and pray you all made the most of it... Love Always Mesha OMG you guys dont now how lucky you are that you were able to go and experience that.

The writing you are doing really gives me a feel for what it must be like! I am so proud of all of you and it is so fun to read about what you are experiencing in your own words. I can't wait to hear about the trip in person when you return safely back home. It sounds like the trip has impacted your lives in many ways. Enjoy every second! Wow!

Clearly, all of you were deeply impacted by your participation in the minga and the community effort you not only witnessed, but were a part of. Sounds like everyone is being pushed to their physical and mental limits, while setting aside time to party a bit too. I am looking forward to seeing all of you soon! Be sure to look after Ari; it sounds like the bugs have taken a liking to him. Oh, how I wish I could have seen Elizabeth's face when she realized she would be sharing quarters with tarantulas...good times! Hoover Hey there Team Ecuador,

I love reading the posts and learning about all your new adventures and what you're learning. Keep it up! It was interesting to read about the minga because the village I lived in in Ghana, West Africa held similar communal work days in which everyone in the village participated to establish a community good, like digging a well or laying the foundation for a new school. The one I participated in was one of the most fulfilling days of the two years I lived in Ghana because the spirit of everyone coming together to work toward a common good was overwhelming. It's so inspiring to see how much can be accomplished simply by working together. What a fantasitc experience it sounds like you all are having!
