One day more
I posted these pictures on my last day in Ecuador, and now I am finally getting around to writing in some captions. Here's a picture of the final crew, all 20 of us that were left at the end for our close of service conference. From the left top row, there's Yessary, Lindsay H., Alex, London, me, Miles, Janet, Nick, Maggie, Johnny, Sarah, Lindsay S., Lisa, and Stephanie. From the left on the bottom row, there's Katie, Ben L., Stuart, Calvin, Zoe and Ben B. We started off with 35 people in omnibus 95 and we finished up with 20 (or 21 depending on how you count).
Miles, Maggie, Benito and I wanted to have a Peace Corps talent show at our final meeting, but there wasn't really any time in the agenda during our 2 day meeting. So Maggie suggested we have "dinner theater" and perform during our lunch break while people were eating. And that's what we did! Here's the MC, Miles, telling some joke or story =)
Here's the multi-talented Maggie playing an original song for us. To quote the movie Step Up 2 the streets, Maggie is a triple threat, as she can dance, write, sing, and play many instruments. Well, I guess that would make her a quadruple threat or quintuple threat. You know what I mean.
We performed two dances, Thriller and Mahi Ve, a bhangra dance from the movie Kal Ho Naa Ho. That's London bajaring in the middle, with Maggie and I on the outskirts. I think Miles had spun out of the frame, which is why you can't seem him in this picture.
Here's my dance crew! They were a very dedicated and fun group =) Katie was in the Thriller dance, but opted out of this dance. We practiced for 3 hours the night before, in the teeny 3rd floor landing of our hotel. Maggie, Miles and I had also been practicing a bunch before that.
This is a good action shot, as you can just see Miles striding out of the photo. London has been dancing her whole life, and was able to learn all the steps in one night! 
Another picture from our final fancy dinner together. They took us to an Italian restaurant and the food was so yummy! It was a nice way to finish up our time together.
Everyone looks weird in this picture because we are all trying to shake our faces for the camera. I never quite got the hang of this. I think I need to loosen my facial muscles more or something. But some people really know how to shake their faces!
