oh Barbie

ding ding. we have a winner. leah´s favorite catcall of all time: "hello, barbie." haha i love it.
this past weekend i fell in love with an entire indiginous population called the Saraguros. i´m going to go back there and i´m never returning. there were several elements that factored into my falling in love. i hadn´t been feeling well and actually almost didn´t go. but first, the fresh air, the green, and the mountians made me feel more alive. second, the music, food, and people of Saraguro are amazing and beautiful and profound, and while what they did for us was for tourism purposes, i´m still impressed.
congratulations to sister Karena for graduating!!!! i´m proud of you.
i have one more week of school, which is hard to believe. i´m certainly ready for school to be over and i´m excited that i still have more time here. really, i´m so thankful for the opportunity to stay because if this time was all the time i had, i don´t think i would feel...fulfilled. so, i´m happy i get to stay.
