Last week in Ecuador...

The time that I have been dreading has come...my last week in Ecuador. I have already been so emotional and am crying at every little thing. I have already started saying my goodbyes and it has been so difficult. I have so many loved ones here and so many amazing relationships that saying goodbye to everyone is so sad and hard. I will be going to some other cites this week to say goodbye to my loved ones in cities outside of Quito. My family in Quito is throwing a goodbye party for me on Monday night, my last night in Quito.

I spent the entire weekend with my family in Quito. We made chocolate out of cacao, had a bbq, cooked a lot of other food, and just spent a lot of time together. Here are a few photos from the weekend and a few of this week:
