There are numerous things that we've had to leave behind when coming to Ecuador. Some of them are profound, others are fairly simply and almost frivolous. Yet, all have been eliminated from our daily life and therefore we miss them greatly.
My cousin's wedding
My Granny's 90th birthday
Our family members
Our neighbors

cold milk

These are just some of the things we miss and will enjoy profoundly when we return. Enjoy them on our behalf in the interim.
Thanks for reading.
