Un Miercoles

Thought you might enjoy a glimpse into one particular day, not especially different from any other day... but every day is different from the next.


Hit the ^snooze^ on my cell alarm twice, reset the alarm for a half hour later, and then hit the snooze again. Woke up to an urgent bodily call for the toilet. Busy. Went outside, crossed the street, jumped a dirt wall into an empty field... diarrhea.

No gasoline in town (interesting in a country that exports a HUGE amount of oil - injust international distribution?). Called a truck to take us ^adentro^ (^inside^... into the rural area). Introduced myself to the principal of the High School. Diarrhea.

Discussion on development, community ownership, and how long before frozen chicken goes bad, while eating a lunch of rice, beans, and chicken. Met my soon-to-be neighbors (maybe)... seem really nice. Excited! Did my first real charla... taller (oh yeah, English)... workshop with a group of 10 young, Afro-Ecuadorian women. Topic - Racism. Played the ¨Knot¨ game. They couldn´t get unraveled, but had fun.

Contemplated the mountains and thought about family, friends, God... a girlfriend (?). Wandered around the church and found a valley framed by mountains, mountains framed by a sky glowing red like the embers of a dying fire. Wow. Contemplated God some more. Diarrhea.

Listened (from the other room) to my 24 year-old friend practice the pronunciation of the song that I had just taught him: ¨I´m too sexy for my shirt, so sexy it... heerrt... heartt... huurtss!¨. Read a book that reminded me that everything in this world is ¨written by One Hand.¨ Diarrhea. Prayed. Slept.

Steve, the love of my life! Sounds like things are fabulous, aside from all that diarrhea.
Much love,
