Another rainy day in Quito. Ecuador was nice enough to make the last few days of my stay nice and dreary. =\ But I've been too excited to be bummed about the weather. Like my host mom said tonight at dinner, in reference to the past couple days being so cold, ''pero, en su pais, hay nieve'' --> ''But, in your country, there's snow''. Exactly. I'm ready to take on the snow, though. =] I've got my sweater that I haven't worn yet and brought specifically for this day and I have my hat, gloves and scarf ready for me to take home.

My bags have been packed, minus the essencials, for the past couple days. I had nothing else to do, so I packed. =] My room seems so empty now, and it'll be weird to leave and not see this family every evening, but I'm ready. The time has come and I'm ready. =]

One of my friends, Haley, had to go home early due to family troubles. She left a few weeks ago, but this afternoon when I was talking to her, she told me, ''you'll pee your pants when you get to cleveland and you'll cry when you see your family.'' Now, I was prepared to cry, but I dunno about peeing my pants. =\ I keep thinking about getting to the Cleveland airport and not being able to contain my excitement. I'll just be giddy, walking to the baggage claim.

So, let this be my last post while in Ecuador. =]
I think I might change the name of the blog and keep it going. I like blogging about things and, who knows, maybe it'll be good place to vent after a long day, or something. ;) I can't wait to see everyone and give my family all of their presents! =]
Chao until SUNDAY!
