Happy Easter!

Hello my loves,

So I´m in an internet cafe in Vilcabamba in the province of Loja where I decided to spend Semana Santa with my friend Kaitlyn. Let me just say, I´ve had an amazing time here in this semi-Sierra climate. We´ve spent our days hiking, reading, and I even got a pedicure (second ever) and a massage (first ever, although I don´t think I´ll be doing it again. It wasn´t bad... I just don´t feel that comfy with someone´s hands all over me...)

So, it´s obviously not the way I would have spent Easter in the States. Back home, I would´ve gone to church with my parents and spent the day at home, with maybe a little Cuban feasting thrown in. But seeing as how I have 4 months left of my Peace Corps experience (WOOOOOO) and seeing as how I needed the vacation like you wouldn´t believe (realized that after I had a breakdown when I couldn´t cook a pot of spaghetti because there was no propane left in the tank), I figure I deserve it, and... I´m not going to let myself feel guilty.

So anyway, much love to you on this Easter day. Although I´m having an amazing time here, I still love and miss you guys and can´t wait to come home to see you once again.

Much love from Loja!
