A Sibling in Ecuador

Having returned from London one week ago, and lived for one week without fights with my brother, that is to say, he isn't in the house at ALL. Yes, he is in the distant land of Ecuador, South America. He has been there three weeks already and he will be coming home next week, and I am shocked to say, I'm actually a little bit excited.
I was worried when he left, I was worried that he might not make it there in the first place, and there are all these diseases and I was very worried. But again, Facebook came to my aid and Chris had informed the world that he was safe. I breathed a sigh of relief. Since, he has been to Laguna Cuicocha, which according to him was awesome, as he was in his element whilst trekking around it and returning to Quito from Otavalo. I have never heard of these places, but looking at them on Google, well I'm in awe of them. They are beautiful! If anyone is reading this, look at them, you will be inspired. It inspired me to try so much harder, and it will help me achieve great things.
Chris's next feat was to undergo a project in the Amazon, to help build part of a museum, which he completed AS WELL AS swimming in The Amazon! How crazy is that? But so like him, he has always loved water, and I can't imagine him EVER turning down a chance to swim in water. He was next to start training for his Condor Trek, at the end of which he would climb the volcano Mount Cotapaxi. Tonight, I happen upon one of his best Facebook statuses yet. Here it is:
CHRIS TAITnailed Cotopaxi today, set off at 12:20 (just past midnight) and reached the summit (-20 degrees, 70kmph wind speed!!) at about 06:00, we then descended back to the refuge in 2hrs.....shame about the severed limb though ;) (8/11 of the people in our group made it :S)

SO to sum up, my brother is having the most amazing time in Ecuador, helping the people of the Ecuadorian life and creating his own experiences which I knw he will cherish for a VERY long time. I definitely know that reaching the summit of Mount Cotapaxi will be probably his most favourite ever. I can't wait for him to come back though.

home.

again i'm at home, and this time it is going well. maybe it is because christopher isnt here, but if i am truthful i really miss him. he is not going to be here for another two weeks and i cant bear it! and now i am trying to see if i am smarter than a ten year old. oh the joys of no working :)

one day,, two days

one day of placement left,, and then I can celebrate and enjoy life for about two months :)

the only thing i have to do now is pack... well that should be fun...
