I'd like to dedicate this next post to my brother...


Dear Marcus,
I know that you are supposed to be working right now, doing vicar-like duties- such as: looking up obscure Greek words, discussing theological matters, studying complex scriptures, changing the lightbulbs in the bathrooms, and dead guy duties. However, I appreciate that you are taking time out of your busy schedule to read my blog.
Love,
Your Hermana


So I'm going to Ecuador tonight. I have to renew my visa by leaving the country, and then coming back into the country. There's an entire process that accompanies visa renewal that I refuse to go into- mostly, because I don't understand all the ins and outs, nor am I convinced that anyone truly understands the entire process. However, rest assured that it involves a lot of running to and fro between offices and banks and copy shops. Seriously. An entire lot. And, like most bureaucratic processes, there are some pretty colorful characters sprinkled throughout it. Anyway, the point of those last few sentences is just that I am taking a 4 day trip to Guayaquil, Ecuador to relax and renew (spirits and visas). This is one of those horrible suffering for Jesus trips.

Not.

I am definitely looking forward to this trip and to resting a little bit in Ecuador. Pictures will definitely follow, I plan to visit the art market there, hang out in the iguana park (yep it's real), and visit other ecuadorian like attractions. I, however, am not entirely sure of the 17 hour bus ride to Guayaquil. But, like all good things, this trip comes with price. The price is a 17 hour wait. I just hope that this wait includes a bathroom on the bus.

Will you capture a little green friend for me?

You must go to the iguana park. Its where the ecudorians let their iguanas run around off their leashes. I hear some are very good at catching frisbees.

I'm touched. And yes, I did check this earlier instead of doing my very-important vicarwork.
