¡Hola!
Welcome from day two of Ecuador. Ourfirst day was considered a success; delicious meals, entertaining welcomes at Damien House, informational tours and an emotional reflection in the evening.
This morning, we met Sister Annie, the "heart" behind Damien House. Like normal at Damien House, nothing goes as planned. We originally planned a surprise party with signs, balloons, cards and a gift. But that quickly got changed when Sister Annie traveled on the bus with us to Damien House. So with quick improvisation and with the help of Ms. Ann Marie's distraction, we were able to pull off a great warm welcome back to Damien House and birthday party. Quickly our small crowd of fifteen turned into at least 40, with workers and patients of Damien House joining in.
Later in the day, we celebrated with cake (la torta) and lots of dancing and music.
The meal at Damien House today consisted of fried fish and rice (arroz con pescado frito). We are looking forward to the rest of the week's meals, reflections and adventures in Ecuador.
Peace and love,
Lizzie and Carolyn
