Love it!
What a wonderful way to keep in touch with what you are doing. I just love it. And living it through you is the best!

Your correct usage of "literally" did not escape me, and I've added "perspicacity" to the wall of words in my cube. Ecuador sounds great and all, but I think my cube would win in a beauty contest. It's just heavenly in here.

Ecaudor
Never made it that far east into the Amazon and after your description, I'm sorry I didn't. I can recommend Otavalo, just north of Quito. It's a great Market. I remember we drove there from Quito but since I wasn't driving, I can't remember the details. We were supposed to go to Quayaquil (where the people are supposed to look like monkeys. I didn't see the resemblance ((met a few in Cuenca)) and I have to say monkeys are better looking). Did spend a week in Cuenca. Small city but nice, as I remember it. One of my travel companions was "dating" a girl from that town so we ended up spending too much time there. Love the blogs. Keep 'em coming. J

WOW...
Hi Marydale - I am really enjoying reading about your trip....you should be a novelist! Meanwhile, perhaps when you get back and start thinking about your NEXT adventure, you might be interested in a dive trip to the Galapagos? You can read a "Galapagos Islands Report" here: http://www.islandream.com/ under "Pacific"....but here is the "Diver Qualification Test." [Don't worry, it won't long there's only one question, and the answers are multiple choice]: 1) Your dive buddy says, "Hey, let's fly down to Ecuador, overnight in a place called Guayaquil, fly 600 miles offshore to the Galapagos Islands, board a 110-foot dive boat, and sail 210 nautical miles north. Okay now, because the water runs 65-75 degrees F., let's put on all the neoprene we own and 20-30 pounds of lead. Then let's swim down to 80 feet in a ripping current, hold onto a huge volcanic rock encrusted with barnacles the size of golf balls, and shiver happily as we watch a school of 50-100 hammerhead sharks swim around us." You say: a) Wow, way cool, when do we go? b) Are you out of your *^*% mind!? Send answer to: klmcclure@cox.net [:]-)

well...
This IS reality, Mom! Life doesnt always have to be about working hard to buy a bigger house or a faster car. Many people work just hard enough to put food on the table, treat their friends to some beers, and play the occasional game of Tejo. I told you about my friend Richard in Taganga... the guy has about 6 shirts to his name and $25 in his bank account, and he was buying ME beers! Its really just a different perspective on the utilization of money, for better or worse.

Me gusta to blog!
Estoy encantado con tus descripciones de la vida colombiana y sus ciudades. Es una parte de sudamérica que no conozco. Acabo de volver de 5 días en Costa Rica durante las vacaciones de la primavera. Fue una experiencia linda. Te aviso que tengas que visitar a un médico para conseguir una injección contra la tetanus. Hagalo para mi, por favor. Con mucho cariño

Romance in the Stone
The movie ´Romancing the Stone´ was also filmed here, but I saw a sign on a jewelery shop that said ´romance in the stone.´It killed me. Oh well, they almost got it right. Live vicariously through ME? The man who prances around Peshawar in his spare time at the heels of a lovely Skandanavian chick? Hardly, sir. We must compare travelogues sometime.

Hey, you left out the greatest cinematic reference to Cartegena of them all -- Jewel of the Nile starring a young (and impressively slim and sober) Kathleen Turner! Glad you still have that itchin' in your heel and am very happy to sip your words as I live vicariously though you for a moment or two...

Jesus
As always, you're making me laugh from another country. I have a side cramp. Jesus suffers in Latin America much more than the rest of the world...I'll be thinking about that all day. Thanks for the update, chica!!! See you this fall!!!
