I'm back in Shell


I'm back in Shell this morning, and using an english keyboard. I flew down on the shuttle flight this morning with Henry. He is the ADS Ecuador board president, and the one Ecuadorian pilot flying for the program. The weather was good, but as usual, bumpy in spots as we flew over the 10,000' countryside between Quito and Shell. I had a good view of Cotapaxi, and Tungarahua was putting out clouds of grey ash.

Flowers are a growing export for Ecuador. I stopped at a flower shop just before getting on the plane. It's a place where you walk through and pick out bundles of flowers from the buckets. I picket up three different kinds of flowers, at least three dozen worth, and paid only $2.98. There's no excuse for not buying flowers here!

Things seem to be running well on the computer front. It's always nice to go away and have it all work while I'm gone. E-mail makes a missionaries life so much easier in many ways.
