Welcome to the Blog
Welcome to “Where the Pavement Ends,” a chronicle of Matt and Jen’s adventures in Ecuador.
We will be here through June 2009 researching public education systems, and also climbing mountains, living in a rainforest, honing our Spanish, sampling unique foods, and collecting interesting stories to relate in this blog. Hopefully, it will end up as part travelogue, part reflection on Ecuadorian education.

Finally, a note on title: ”Where the Pavement Ends” is one of the mottos of Fe y Alegría, the school system we will primarily be studying this year. Fe y Alegría aims to educate students from rural, poor, or marginalized areas, where quality services might not otherwise extend. Hence the phrase – “Where the pavement ends, Fe y Alegría begins.”
And so we begin, as well.
