Happy and High on the Altitude

Tonight, we went to a party thrown by Rebecca's office. Americans! Conversation in English! Kumi catered and cooked up a ridiculous feast.

Friday (yesterday) was Rebecca's last day at work! On Tuesday, we leave for our vacation. First stop - the Amazon Jungle.

Maya lost her third baby tooth finally. Her top two teeth have been loose since before we arrived in May. In the past week, it's gotten looser and we kept thinking it was on the verge of falling out. On Thursday morning, Maya even let Rebecca tie some dental floss to it to try to yank it out. The floss came undone; the tooth stayed put. Today, the gums finally released the captive, to much joy all around. We learned that the tooth fairy character in Ecuador is a mouse named Sanchez.

On top of all that good news, I just found out one that Jim, of my best friends from high school, is moving back to the east coast after almost two decades on the left coast.

I'm happy and high on the altitude. I think I'll go dance to some Black Sabbath.

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.
