I Left My Heart in San Francisco de Quito


I told you this was coming, but I'm sorry it's this late. Not that I really expect anyone to still be checking this, but I'm a man of my word.

I'm back in the United States of America with a better perspective of the rest of the world, and how we fit into it. There are things that I can appreciate about the U.S. now that I couldn't have before, and there are also things that I can appreciate about other countries. I guess I don't really need or want to go deeper than that, so I'm just going to repeat the theme from last time and say "I learned stuff."

I still don't know what the future of this blog will be. I don't really have any plans to permanently enter the blogosphere, but a lot of you have mentioned to me that you found me to be a somewhat marginally okay writer (you know, for a Revere grad), and I've taken that into consideration. This blog may have run its course, but I might start using it to share my photography, or I may write the occasional entry. Whatever I feel like, I guess. I'd love for you to keep checking obsessively for new posts, but I don't want to have to earn that obsession by actually posting. For what will, for the time being, be a mothballed blog, I'll make you a deal: I promise to post at least once in double the time it takes my sister to post to her currently active blog, which would be roughly once per season*.

SHOUT-OUTS GO TO: Toda la familia Morillo--Mila, Mateo, Omar (what's cooking?), Cris, y Abuela Joven/Divertida/Paciente/Rebelde/Motociclista. Muchas gracias para todo, para cada parte de mi tiempo con Ustedes, para todas las experiencias que yo tenia... les extrano mucho a Uds. y ya quiero regresar. Posiblemente en el futuro, en algunos cinco o diez anos, si tengo bastante dinero y tiempo, me gustaria regresar al Ecuador y verles. No puedo agradecerles a Uds. bastante veces. Y yo se que todavia no puedo hablar perfectamente, pero.... por eso, necesito volver, no? Abrazos grandes. Hasta manana.

From Columbus, Ohio, USA,
Andy
