A Message from Joe (2003/09/12)
My nephew Joe is taking an international studies course in Ecuador. Here’s his latest message.
From: Joe Joe Asteriou Ok, that is my address here again, because it was requested by a couple people. Here’s a little fun tidbit about ecuador. There is a town outside Quito called Zambiza, where, up until about a year ago (hasta hace un ano), they put all of Quito’s trash. That’s right, they dumped all there trash there. Well, it turns out that a community developed of people that lived in the trash. They built little shanty houses and basically live by picking through the trash. I just thought that something like that would be of interest to some of you out there in TV land. I don’t really have anything new to talk about, so i probably shouldn’t be filling your inboxes with spam. I’ll just leave you with the fact that I just finished my first project in my weaving class. It looks pretty spiffy if I do say so myself. Have fun, wherever you may be, love |
