Fulbright Group to Ecuador
I will be traveling to Ecuador on July 6 through August 3, 2008 with a group of other educators from the State of Michigan. Each of us have been selected as a participant through a Fulbright Federal Grant written through Michigan State University. The purpose of our month long visit is to learn about the cultural and natural environment of Ecuador. We will be arriving first in Quito, the capitol of Ecuador then later to the Amazon then to Otavalo, a beautiful city know for its colorful market. My hope is that friends and family will log on to my blog and keep informed about each day of my travel within this magnificent country.
One of the main objectives is to develop several lesson plans for high school age students related to the culture and specifically the visual arts of Ecuador. I am really excited about eventually sharing my experiences with my high school students from Community High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan
Wish me Luck!!!!
Dear Elena:
Did the organizers of the trip tell you about Chagas’ disease and Leishmaniasis?
Just checking. I am your big brother after all.
Have a great time.
Love,

Hi Elena,
I can not believe you are in Ecuador, how exciting!! It sounds awesome so far. I will look forward to hearing about your adventures each day.
I will be gone for a few days (to North Carolina, not as thrilling as Ecuador, but still pretty cool) but I will get caught up on your blog and email you when I come back.
Learn a lot, and have fun!!

Mi Vida, Como va todo ? I’m happy to hear your having such a fantastic time. Things here have been very busy. The Vet was here to check out the horses. Thy are all in very good shape, except for Rex being a few pounds over weight. Maya left for Nashville on Thur. and she arrived safe and sound . Work has been a hand full and I thank God I have so much work. The dogs have been very good for me, when you get back you need to be firmer with them. The garden weeds are winning right now but I plan to go on the attack and pull them all out by hand. I was able to mow the pasture down and I have made some head way on the honeydew list. I’ll have a surprise for when you get back. The hint is we have more room in the Hall way. l just wanted to update you on the events here on the farm. I’ll let you go for now. Con todo me amor , David. :{
