Immersion Experience: Ecuador

WORLD CUP PART II?

by Petra Augustine '23 and Blaire Griffin '23
Today we did some Volcanic exploration and engaged the locals in a friendly game of soccer.
After a rambunctious bus ride (Thanks to the sporty driving of The Don Ortiz and Alex) we were dropped at the base of the volcano (not active) and took gondola cars to the top. From there we hiked to a swing and a beautiful view of the city. After some much needed snacking and making friends with the caballos, we went back to the bus to head to lunch! Our afternoon consisted of  an international exchange of soccer skill that ended in the 12 year old Ecuadorian victory ( 6-2) over the pesky, and much older RJ Team representing the USA. Goals by Lin and Stratman proved not enough, and the last minute “hand” goal by Augustine sadly didn’t count. After the intense game, we ended the night with a moving group reflection and bonded in our rooms until it was time to go to bed. Can’t believe it’s almost the weekend! TGIF!
