Loading up for Ecuador!

We're starting to pack for our trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.  We're leaving early Wednesday morning and will get back home late Saturday, 3 October, just in time for the Baptism of grandson, Noah Johnson!

While we’re in Ecuador, we’re being hosted by Jorge.  He is one of the three young men who worked for us in 2007 when we were building the new dairy in western Iowa.  We became close to them and they all still call Ellen:  “Mom”.   

Jorge is now married to Adriana and they have a very cute daughter……  We’ll be staying with them, and also touring the country with his parents.  

We''re looking forward to the trip!!!!
