We got back from Fundochamba today and can I just say that Fundochamba is beautiful! It is a small town (population ~150) about 3 hours by bus south from Loja. We had a great time visiting fellow PCV Ethan in his site. He is a sustainable agriculture volunteer working with the coffee growers and microempresas in the Fundochamba area. Ethan knows everybody in his little town and we couldn't walk down the one road in town without running into his neighbors that would stop and chit chat- it was definitely a nice change of pace to see what a non-city volunteer's site is like. I will post more photos tomorrow.
Ethan took us out to walk along where the farmers in Fundochamba have their coffee plants (and where they let their cows roam loose to graze). If you see in the far distance in the middle of the photo there is a tree sticking up. That is where his house is!
