day 6: a song that reminds me of somewhere

this song is cuenca, ecuador august 2009.

whenever i hear it, i think of the sweetest ninos, the most delicious food, gorgeous weather, happiness, and a sense of belonging.

the second our plane landed in cuenca, i felt like i was home.

i miss it every single day.

i miss being happy, being warm, serving others, holding babies, washing little faces, dance parties on the balcony, lots and lots of hugs, and feeling needed.

my little ninos knew this song by heart and would always sing it to us [sometimes we'd have to bribe them with candy]. i miss that.

i probably won't ever get the chance to physically go back to ecuador, but at least i know that i can be there mentally whenever i hear this song.
