La Casa

Things that you might find in our house in La Josfina that you might not find in our house in Santa Rosa:
1) A bat (he only shows his face at night and seems uninterested in us).
2) A few seriously large spiders. I will try to get some pictures with comparison items for your consideration, but take my word for it, they are large.
3)  A suitcase as a dresser (temporary) x2. 
4) A Frankenstein-like contraption in the shower to heat the shower water. Ours doesn't work, but due to Paul's ingenuity, I am certain it will soon! Fingers and toes crossed.
5) A blender to make fruit juices (okay, we do have a blender in Santa Rosa but hardly ever use it). This one has already made several delicious fruit juices. My favorite? Naranjilla, but no one else in the family seems to like it. This morning, I made mora (blackberry juice).
6) A hammock on the front porch (a must)
7) A piedra (to wash clothes) in the back. More on that later.

Eagerly anticipating English muffins (they didn't come out very good)

La cocina

Not much furniture yet, but poco a poco la hormiga come el coco
As I mentioned above, the English muffins were not delicious, but the kids humored me

This morning, Brynna said, "Mommy, it already feels like home!" This was directly on the heels of some serious homesickness statements and a strong need for goldfish, so take the sentiment with a grain of salt. But, in all truth, Brynna is right. Our little casa in the finca IS starting to feel like home. Next week, the bookcase we ordered from a local carpenter should be ready. Then we can put up some books on the shelves. And our house isn't a house without books.

From rationing to releasing

For the last 12 months, we have been rationing our resources. You name it, we have conserved it, apportioned it, and allotted it: from Skippy peanut butter, to Earl Gray tea, to cheddar cheese, to dark chocolate. From Crayola markers to Ticonderoga pencils to embroidery thread to temporary tattoos. From shrinky-dinks to jigsaw puzzles to body wash.  From maple syrup to soy sauce to Scotch tape. I am the chief control freak on this project, and I am afraid I have passed some of my neuroticism onto my kiddos. The thing is every little thing feels more precious when it is not readily replaceable, when Amazon Prime is a pipe dream, when the nearest Target is 5000 miles away. The truth is, everything IS more precious. And yet, now we find ourselves, at the tail end of this journey, and it is time to let go.  It is an admittedly sharp turnabout to go from rationing to releasing.  It is time to bake another big batch of chocolate chip cookies and use up that chocolate. Time to s...

Hard cheese, soft toilet paper

Two decades ago, Jessica, my nearest Peace Corps neighbor, made a significant discovery in the city of Quevedo: semi-hard cheese. At the time, Quevedo was over two hours away via bus and the closest place to access dial-up internet. That day, I received a special delivery via the bus driver as he passed through La Josefina: a chunk of cheese wrapped in an ecstatic hand-written note, " Try this! It is amazing!!! -JLH " Ecuadorians love cheese, but almost all of the cheese produced and consumed here is queso fresco , a mild, soft fresh cheese, often salted, made from local cow's milk. It is eaten fresh and served in many typical dishes including empanadas and bolón .  Queso fresco is tasty, but it does not really melt and bears little resemblance to the cheddar, gouda, and Havarti of our homeland. Even today, mozzarella is the only other readily available cheese in Ecuador, except in specialty stores and supermarkets in large cities. I sampled the semi-hard cheese from ...

A bit about Ecuador

Image
Don't feel bad if you don't really know where Ecuador is in the world.  Or if you do not really know very much about Ecuador. It doesn't make the US news that often--which is probably a good thing.  When I received my invitation to Peace Corps Ecuador in 1999, I remember a sense of excitement, a dream of burgeoning adventure, and then a feeling of shame: other than the fact that I presumed it was on the equator, I had no clue where in the world Ecuador was, nor any idea of all the wonders it had to offer. In preparation for our family's year abroad, I thought it might be interesting to try to write a post on the nation of Ecuador. A little geography, a little history, a little anthropology, and some personal commentary. It's obviously far from inclusive. Ecuador is a small South American country sitting squarely on the equator, nestled between Colombia (to the north) and Peru (to the south). At 176,204 square miles, it is slightly smaller than Nevada. When I write t...
