Surely it is not* just the thin air at this altitude that inspires enthusiasm! The soccer team of Ecuador has been astounding people at the World Cup with their unexpected success. Frank and I are en route to the Galapagos, a lifelong dream coming true the day after tomorrow. Meanwhile in Quito, our hosts at the University of San Francisco de Quito have created an amazing private university here. Rome may not have been built in a day, but if Cicero and Caesar could see what Santiago, Carlos, and Bruce accomplished in a few months they would bite the corners off their togas with envy. |
* Pardon any weird diction because I can not find an apostrophe on this Ecuadorian keyboard!
