We spent yesterday (Tues) in Santo Domingo where I live. Rather unsurprisingly Julia and my mum were not massively impressed. Santo is my home and I’m fine there but it is not clean, pretty or interesting. Apart from meeting my Ecuador family there was nothing to do. I showed them my chuch (was closed) and the post office (big excitement) and then...that was it. I think mummy and Julia might have been slightly underwhelmed!

  

   Today we came back to Quito and I took mummy and Julia to the airport. They leave in 1 hour. I’m sittng in a missionary house half a mile away. Pouring rain outside so I’m huddled indoors clutching a cup of tea and writing this blog to try and stop myself from remembering that my mum will be gone in an hour.

  

  I want my mum.
