On the road again...
Sounds like the family has made themselves "your" family. I'll bet it helps your Spanish move along more quickly and you'll be good for Anita's English. Very cool... Neat story about the weaver. She's probably going to look for you every weekend :)

I like the part about Curious Jorge! Loves it. P.S. Can I have one of the scarves? HA!

Everything sounds awesome John :-) Do you happen to have Roald Dahl's "The Twits" with you to read to Francisco? (if you could ever translate that?) Trevor always got such a hoot out of that one at the lake. Looking forward to hearing more. Love Sue

Sounds great, John. I wish I were as adventurous as you. It's nice that you are staying with a family who treat you so much like part of their family.

HI John, sounds like this trip will be more relaxed for you. The kids next door sound fun. How do you say "squawk button" in Spanish?

Ah John - Trust you to capture the beauty of the place in fall, then leave with a snowstorm signaling it might just be best to leave :). Happy Fall to you! - Sandy

Hi Sandy
Traveling with a group limited my flexibility on time, plus we had reservations for every night - which pushed us on every day

Valdez...
I wasn't prepared for the beauty of Valdez either. I am adding this to my "must visit" places if I am ever in that neck of the woods. The milky glacial water gets me every time! Denali seems to be a hit and miss event (more often miss), could you not hang around a day to see if things would change or are you on a set "gotta' keep moving" schedule?

North Country
Pretty awesome Bro! I'm getting some flash backs when I was into the Mining Exploration and up in some of that country. The bugs were to be reckoned with and blocked out the sun, but you learn to deal with them. Getting into the air is the key and gives a unique prospective. We always had a chopper at our disposal providing an intimate experience that most people never get. So cool you could fly the plane your ass built, Wow. I've followed your schedule and the thing you may want to check is your stay at Iskut. I spent a few weeks there in one of my last surveying jobs, and all that used to exists there is a road maintenance camp--basically a bunch of Atco trailers. You'll will be able to get a meal there but I'm not sure about accommodation. Dease lake would be better bet or there used to be some bunk houses at Meziadin a little further south. Cheerio, Your Bro. Your Bro,B

I Don't Do Bugs...
Remind me to make my trips in late August or September - I hate bugs, especially in my food, especially a cinnamon bun... Really want to take the train trip, sounds like missing Skagway would be no real miss...

The Price Of Gas
$1.59/liter - UGH! ...and we are whining about $4.50 a gallon... You are making quick work of the miles.

Midnight Ride
The group I am traveling with is leaving Whitehorse at midnight on the solstice for a motorcycle ride north to Braeburn Lodge to have one of their famous cinnamon buns. http://www.karo-ent.com/braeburn

Midnite Sun
Hi John, I'm sure you will be aware that the summer solstice occurs during your visit to Whitehorse. When you will be in Dawson City a couple of days later, you'll be able to see the midnite sun (if the night is clear) from a popular look-out on the mountain close to that city. Indeed, if driving about and looking north at that late hour it will be ever-present. Dad

Red Socks
I particularly like the red socks of 1968 - quite a fashion statement :). Beautiful picture of the Peace River Valley - wide as the eye can see for sure!

Nice Bike :)
Good heavens you're forcing me to be high tech outside of work because I will be one watching you via satellite. I wouldn't do it, but find it very cool...

I'm sad this chapter is over, though eagerly anticipating the next! Mind the speed limits, giant flying bugs and annoying mosquitoe hum and bites... All uniquely irritating in their way.

Surprises
Reading your blog, I think for a third country that is (almost) falling into pieces, there are some things they got it right, and I, as you were, was pleasantly surprised by Ecuador. Thank you for your blog.

Reflections
For me, I can hear Joan laughing at the theatrics of the Panga landing at Tagus Cove. I also believe that she enjoyed every minute of the trip with you. You took her (and us) on a great adventure!
