The pilot announced we had landed
Leo: was that the mandolorian?
Charity: we are about to land
Leo (panicked): do we have to jump??
Esther and Leo mostly stayed in our room during the trip where it was cool and they could watch paw patrol in English. They were both in the throes of culture shock and they did great considering all the changes thrown at them. At one point Esther said tearfully, “Ecuador is ruining my life!” Everyone thought that was so funny.
This post is put together two years after the fact. I wish I had recorded more of the day to day experiences of that trip. It was beautiful for all of us though. The kids connected to their cousins more than ever before and it was fun to see so many similarities. In a way it was like finding a long lost part of themselves that they didn’t know existed. I wish with all my heart we could get to Ecuador more often 😢
