After my amazing trip to Ecuador last week, I was really sad to leave. In fact, I did not want to leave at all and I wanted to stay in Ecuador forever because it has such a special place in my heart and I just feel really happy there. Don't get me wrong, I love Peru as well but it's just different because the lifestyle that I live here is so different from the lifestyle that I lived in Ecuador. So I definitely left Ecuador with a heavy heart, but then when I returned to Peru I felt like my eyes were re-opened to the beauty that surrounds me where I live. Not only the beauty of the nature and the mountains, but the beauty of the people and all the wonderful friendships that I have with so many kids and families.
So I just wanted to share some photos of things that I really appreciate about where I live because I have been feeling very sentimental and thankful these past two weeks since returning from Ecuador.

I recently took a day trip to a nearby town with some Peruvian friends of mine. On the way, we stopped and saw some regionally famous dinosaur fossils that I have heard a lot about but still hadn't seen. It was pretty cool to see! Then we spent the day in a cute little town about an hour outside of Huallanca and got to enjoy some pretty views. I live in such a beautiful area and I am so thankful to be here! I only have 5.5 months left here and I truly want to enjoy every day.

Our day trip ended with a beautiful sunset over the mountains as were were driving back to Huallanca :)
Summer school is in full swing and the kids are keeping me very busy teaching classes! I will post photos of that soon!
