Wade and I spent the weekend in Paducah celebrating Papa’s (Wade’s Grandad) 90th Birthday. We arrived late, late, late Friday night and spent most of Saturday with the Burch/Broach family. Wade was in charge of pictures and I served cake, which put me in the perfect position for snacking! After the party we all returned…
We didn’t do a lot of shopping in Ecuador. I bought an Alpaca scarf and a couple t-shirts, but my favorite discovery was cinnamon Trident gum. I love the soft gum, which I can no longer find in Cinnamon. It appears to still be popular in Ecuador. I managed to gather quite a supply before…

Today was a leisurely day. Our flight is not till 9 pm. We spent the day in the hotel and most of it in our room playing spades with Melissa and Chris. We switched partners various times over the week so I am not sure who ended up the overall winner. We ordered room service…
Most of today was spent traveling. We packed our bags and boarded a flight for Quito – high altitude and cold temperatures. We had quite a bit of free time and I was excited to use the gym and spend a few hours with my book. The first activity of the evening was a visit…
