Crossing the equator
This was in Ecuador (which is Spanish for 'equator´). There was a whole exhibit set up about all the whacky things that go on at the Mitad del Mundo (middle of the Earth).

The ol´carry-on bag
Good riddance to the old Weyburn Inland Terminal bag (my trusty sidekick on 4 continents).
I replaced it with a very homosexual purse....but at least it´s a purse with about 20 fewer holes in it than the WIT bag.

Wife beating
The women of Baños take on the stubborn cow beating duties.

Bike-olly
Jaakko and I eating dust on some trails outside Baños.

Poor bastard.
A black pig tied up in the sun all day.

A bridge.
A bridge above a shallow river with jagged rocks.

A bridge jumper.
Yours truly leaping towards the shallow river and jagged rocks.

A swinger.
Ahhh. Swinging safely and no crap in the back of those shorts.
Scariest thing I ever did though.

Playing in the mud.
Motorbiking in Baños. Best ever!

Gargantuan church!
Quite the tourist attraction. No joke they even sold beer inside.

Volcano!
Almost at the snow line way up here in Otavalo, Ecuador.

honey, love, sweetie!! it is a purse, a dainty, pretty purse!! lol not to say it does not look good on you, but i have to argue that to qualify as a murse the bag needs to be at least triple that size!!! So face it you are pretty!! lol, i miss ya, hope you are having a great time, and hope to see you when you get back. Be safe and take care!

Hey hot pants, that picture of you with the new bag is hot, though I remember the inland terminal bag fondly. isn't it the one your very first camera was stolen out of your very first day in Vietnam? so maybe it had holes and also not the greatest luck... anyways, keep rocking life stud muff, you've inspired me to be more like you, aka more like myself and keep travelling, cause really, what else am I going to do with myself?!?!?! peace out g-thugga
