Hey Everyone,

I have now been in Ecuador for two weeks, and it is so amazing! All the girls on my trip are awesome as well as my teachers. I am now at an internet cafe in Tana, right outside the Amazon and it is soooo hot!!! We are going white water rafting tomorrow which I am so excited for! The academics are pretty challenging but so engaging. It is so awesome to be emmersed in what I am learning...right now we are reading savages for global studies which is about all the oil that is being extracted from the Amazon...I feel so connected when reading it cause we are actually here. Today we were in the bus driving to Tana and we drove uner the pipes that take the oil up and out of the rainforest.

In english we are reading the alchemist which is an awesome book about personal legends. We had a sweet class discussion about it the other day. Well I have to go and meet up with the group again but i will try and update this as much as possible! hope everyone is doing wonderful!

Love Phoebe
