Phrase of the day:
Somos voluntarios, finalmente!... We're volunteers, finally!

This morning we swore in as volunteers. As usual, it was made into a pretty big deal, haha. We had a nice little ceremony at the ambassador's residence in Quito. She had bagels, cream cheese, fruit, and juice for us for breakfast after we swore in.
Her house was pretty sweet. It had a greenhouse, pool, and basketball/tennis courts.
And the views were definitely great. This is from her backyard.
The Youth and Families kids.
Cayambe Dos (minus Katie). The coolest trainee group around.
Me and Hannah. I've been growing out my hair. I hope I'll be able to a bit more before it gets too warm.
Right now we are in our hostel waiting to head to headquarters for a bbq... then in the evening we have a "party" at the health kids' hostel... and tomorrow we're off to our sites.

Oh yeah, 2 years beginning... now!
