We began our journey at Daybreak on Friday evening and had our most awesome team of drivers drop us off at the Dulles Sheraton. After a few winks of sleep, we got up at 3 a.m., shuttled off to the airport, hurry up and wait through check-in and left Washington, D.C. at 6:30 A.M. After a long layover on Saturday in Miami, we flew to Ecuador and arrived safely ... but not in Quito....IN Guayaquil. Due to foggy weather we weren't allowed to land so the flight continued. The airlines put us up in a Hilton with a beautiful view of the city and gave us a free buffet dinner. We got to bed around 11:30 p.m. and were awakened at 5:30 a.m. to head back to the airport and leave for Quito.
Now we are in Quito at the beautiful CasaBlanca property enjoying breakfast and getting to know our interns. Everyone is doing well and I am so proud of our team as they practiced amazing grace and flexibilily in our unexpected, ever changing plans.
We are leaving now for the jungle where I don't expect to be able to blog. But check just to be sure you never know where an internet cafe will pop up. We will be back in Quito on Friday and will up date you then. Please continue to pray for our safe travels and health. We appreciate all of your support and prayers.
