Here are some photos of our first few days in Ecuador.

| Pete, Joseph and I on the campus of InterAmerican Academy. There are lots of palm trees, birds and lush tropical flora. It reminds me of "Fantasy Island!" |
| Dr. Jim O'Hara, the man who hired us back in February at the University of Northern Iowa international teaching job fair. Thanks Jim! |
| The patio outside our condo. We share this space with the other teachers in the apartment complex. A great place for relaxing, chatting and sharing meals. |
| The swimming pool outside our patio. So nice to swim and cool down on a hot day. The hottest days are yet to come! |




Hi Teachers and Joseph,

Hi Judy,
ReplyDeleteHow about that, your Mom had a litle trouble with the keys cuz the white prited leter on some of them has been worn away. Now I have
glued on a litle piece of paper with the letter printed on the A, S, E, O, and L keys.
Tomorrow we will spend another few minutes
getting familiar with the mouse and the curser.
Touch typing takes practice and a lot of folks
I know are realy quick using H and P method.
Happy Sunday,
Dad
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY PETE.

It also looks like we missed your birthday Joseph.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated-Birthday from your Urban Community Family!
Fantastic Pictures! I am so glad to get a better sense of it. I just saw Judy's parents in Delaware (20th class reunion...fun) Is your school in session? What's the word on the street? Is it a coup or not? I was going to say that I hope that you are well, but it is clear to me that you all are. Big Love,
ReplyDeleteA.T.
I love the updated pictures! What a beautiful location. News has it that the political situation is a little tenuous. Be safe!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great learning opportunity for Joseph.
We are waiting to hear from Joseph!
ReplyDeleteWe begin vacation today for Christmas. Wishing Joseph and the family a happy and holy holiday season.
