Just got back from Ecuador... no my arms aren't tired.

I just got back from a 9 day trip to Ecuador. It was quite an experience, and especially interesting going to a place with another culture and sets of customs. I guess "thrown into" would be a good description. Some of those customs did seem pretty strange as an outsider (as I'd imagine mine would seem strange to them), and even the locals didn't exactly know how those customs were formed (for example, the brides maids wearing red).

It took some getting used to, and of course it wasn't a long enough time to not feel like a silly outsider, but I feel like I acclimated to some of the customs there.
