The “Ecuadorian Nanosecond” is the flash of time between the light turning green and the person behind you honking the horn.


Trash trucks play music just like ice cream trucks in the US. I told our cab driver that children run after that music in the US, and he thought that was funny.


In Baños you can pay the priest $30 to bless your car. We’ve come to realize that everyone in Ecuador must make the trek to Baños for this blessing so they can drive the way they do without fear.


Ecuador uses the US dollar, but no one has any change. If you come here from the US, bring plenty of 1′s and 5′s. You can’t buy anything with a $20 bill that doesn’t cost at least $18.


Hot showers are a rarity, with many showers requiring you to connect the electrical heat wires inside of the shower stall yourself. This gives you about three minutes of hot water along with an electrical shock.


The celebration beverage of choice, often known as corn beer, is fermented by women chewing up corn and spitting into the mixture. Mmmmm...spit beer.

Yay! It worked!! :D I made another collage on Picasa, but I used almost all of our past countdown pictures. :) And yes, there's 50 pictures in the collage. :) Of course.

Think back to the 100 day mark. Doesn't it seem like time has just gone by so quickly since then? Only one more set of 50 days, and we'll be off. :D

53?!?!?!

Wow girls. 53 days. I'm not sure how to feel. On one hand, I feel like time is flying, yet at the same time, I feel like it is still so far away! Do any of you feel the same? It's so confusing... :]

We're getting closer each day!!!! :P

hahahaha.... *Sigh* I feel like we are still so far away though! :)

57 days to go... or 7 weeks and 1 day. Or 1 month and 27 days! :)

58!

Sorry, I couldn't really think of anything else to do... but in celebration of 58 days, here is a video from last years trip to Guatemala.
