Christmas in Ecuador! While the dorm dispersed across Latin America to be with their families, I joined my friend Ana Maria and her family to celebrate in Quito. Herself, her brother, her aunt and uncle welcomed me in celebrating, a tradition that involves calling family members and loved ones, a big
dinner, and waiting until midnight to open presents. My experience was like the rest of mine so far - filled with generosity. Not only was I welcomed into the home of the uncle I had never met, but the group pitched in and bought me a beautiful alpaca sweater, hat and a book of photography. It was a really terrific way to spend my first Christmas outside the US!
