It was the best of times, it was the worst of times . . .

Dearest readers,

I apologize profusely for being so lazy in posting.  I realize it has been almost 3 months since I have addressed you, and I ask your sincerest forgiveness for my writers block.  From here on out, I promise to post at least twice a month – that is my oath to you.

And as this is a post, it is only a half post.  I am short on time and need to leave Quito asap.  But for those of you interested, here is the quick version of what has happened recently in the saga of Jeanette:

1.) Broken hand, almost sent back to the states for surgery.  Some talk about Peace Corps budget cuts, told to just ´let it heal crooked.´  More on that later.

2.) Trip to the Galapagos.  Snorkled with sea turtles, mustache contest with Irish men, and dug up tortise eggs with the coolest PhD student ever.  See flickr photos at right for more.

3.) Trip to the states.  Drove a convertible.  Showered every day and looked cute.  Realized I dearly miss some things about the good old US of A.

4.) Came back to Ecuador and realized that if I left Ecuador I would dearly miss some things from here.

So in summary I still have no idea what to do with my life, although I do know that it is life itself that I love, not exactly what I choose to do.  I promise to post again soon, within the week, in fact, if all goes to plan.

Chao chao,
Jeanette
