Ecuador with FA's
« on: November 20, 2014, 06:38:38 AM »
So, DS (age 20) is going on a service trip to Ecuador over the winter break.  They will be pulling out invasive plant species and planting trees (ask me if I could ever get him to help with yard work at home!) in a coastal area of the country for 11 days.

Needless to say, I'm a bit of a wreck about this. 

Has anyone been to Ecuador?  Any advice?  His allergies are PN, TN, Sesame, Chick Pea, and certain forms of soy (which is probably more birch-related).  I do hear from some of my Ecuadorian coworkers that chick peas are common in certain parts of Ecuador.

:rofl:
Dunno how he's preparing. He'll be home for Thanksgiving so we will discuss in detail then.  Frankly I don't think he is taking this seriously enough. Big surprise.
