EQUIPMENT ARRIVES!

Relief does not do it justice. At 3:30 AM last night (morning?), Gavin, Roberto, and a Maersk truck arrived at the doorstep of Casa Condor. After battling for two straight weeks, OA´s Guayaquil boys had returned home - successful.

Everyone pitched in to unload the stuff and pack it into our humble home in Chimborazo. At first glance everything appears to have arrived in excellent condition. We will do a complete inventory to double check before beginning distribution on Monday.

It is getting late here in Riobamba and I get the feeling the internet cafe wants me out, so I will leave everyone with a cool story surrounding the equipment.

When we packed the boxes, back in Victoria, we taped a Loonie to one of the balls we sent down. It was a very symbolic moment for all of us to open the box and find it staring back at us. Thousands of kilometres of travel, and our little Loonie made the journey. A piece of Canada to keep us company here in Ecuador.

One week left in Project Ecuador, and we have arguably the biggest hurdle left to clear. Wish us luck.

* a quick update on the video ... power outages all over Chimborazo have slowed things a little, but hopefully it will be up in a couple days.
