One week till my birthday! Came back “home” to Tumbaco. It felt good to be back. It was warm and sunny. I came into my house and up to my room to unlock it but the key wouldn’t go in..we tried almost everything! Finally we had to go through the window and unlock it from inside. Apparently the 2 nephews who are here for summer break tried to get into my room. They used a key that wasn’t the right one and part of it broke off in the lock..so now my whole knob had to be changed. No big deal really.

We also have a new addition to the family. He’s a yellow lab puppy named comite (maybe not quite sure) sooo adorable, just like our 3 black labs when they were pups, except yellow (obvs) I then went to run some errands, was able to mail a letter to Bram. The post office is only open mon-fri 8-12 and 2-5, the exact times that we are in training, so it’s practically impossible to mail things.

Had a nice dinner with the family. They were very curious to hear about my trip and plan on visiting me, which would be fun. As with many things it’s going to be hard to say goodbye but I know that’s just life and it will continue to go on as I start new relationships at my site.
