home sweet home...

here i am, back in barcelona… and it was surprising to me how comforting it was for me when the bus entered the city… the familiar sites welcoming me back to barcelona…

it made me remember the first time i felt like guayaquil was home… i had been living there for 3 weeks or so, and i was still disappointed at being stuck in such a filthy city, instead of being in the tropical paradise that i imagined the boarding school was, 4 hours away, near the jungle.  the people were nice enough, though, and i got involved as much as possible with the church, and i sometimes attended the pathfinder sessions.  there was this trip called “supermision”, which was basically when all the youth went to another city and did typical old-school adventist stuff, like giving clothes to the needy, proselytizing, and having huge meetings where various groups performed a variety of songs, skits, etc.  i went on this trip with them, and OH MY GOSH i found out what real camping was like!

anyone of you who’s gone camping in the states… well… that seems like luxury to me compared to how i felt when we were camping in ecuador!  since there were so dang many of us, they herded us around in those military trucks with tarps over them, and we had to have our own plates and cups and they would give you one scoopful of whatever food they had prepared (which i wasn’t yet accustomed to yet, and it was really really hard for me to eat it, no matter how starving i was!).  add to that the sketchy bath situation… i don’t remember what it was, but i remember being oh-so-thankful for the bus that took me home to guayaquil. 

sitting in the speeding bus which was passing cars and zooming through city intersections at 60mph late that night (the bus driver probably just wanted to go home too!), i vividly remember garrett and i laughing about our situation and how absolutely ghetto it was… and how happy we both were to finally be back in -our town-, guayaquil.  and we both agreed:

OH GUAYAQUIL!!  so dirty, so filthy, but how happy we are to be home!!!
