It's all new to me (blogging included)

Well, here it is - my very first blog. I suppose that it was just a matter of time before I joined the blogging revolution. My desire is that this will be a convenient place to share with you, the reader, my thoughts and experiences while I am in Ecuador, and perhaps life beyond this summer. Hopefully I will be disciplined enough to update it regularly, but if not, you have my apologies in advance. Contained within this blog are simply the experiences and thoughts of a first time international traveler.
