If you haven't heard, I am now in another town called Lita where we are working at a youth camp. This week we are just doing random odd jobs to get ready for next week which is when the kids arrive. The kids that are coming are all teenagers I believe. The town we are in, Lita, is about a 3 hour drive from Cotacachi which is where we were before and it is a lot different. It is lower in elevation and a lot greener, warmer, and more humid. I feel like I am in the jungle. The town of Lita is very very small, so it magnifies the jungle experience. There is a river here and we have gone swimming in it a few times. It's great because the water is cool, but definitely not too cold. It's warmer than Washington rivers even in the summertime. Tropical Rivers are great! As for work, I have been doing a lot of mowing here on the camp property. They have a lot of grass here, but they only have a weed wacker that works pretty well so its not the same as a lawn mower. The family that owns the camp, lives at the camp where we are staying at and they are very friendly and fun to be with. They are Colombian and have great hospitality. The fruit is great here too. There are papaya trees, banana trees, orange trees, and pinapple trees on the property of the camp. Here are some pics from around Lita...The last picture is of where we are staying right now. Anyways, wish I could write more, but gotta go...
