And over the cloud-forest
Travelling with my mother

March 5th 2016
All kind of people travel. You have the single travellers, the couples, the friends, the families, and infrequently the mother-daughter pair. But it is not often you encounter the mother-son combination. The eyes stop to look, the minds wonder. We are different. Not the norm for the road. We stand out. But the reactions are invariably positive. How is it to travel with my mother? Not hard. But ... read more

Tricky Travel!
I love your last line when you point out that while it might be tricky traveling with a mother or a friend with different budgets, it shouldn't get in the way of the sharing a wonderful experience. Like you, I'm a $15-$20/day budget traveler, while most of my friends are more like your mom. It's tricky finding that mid-point, but it can be done. I think you two struck a fine balance of which you should be righteously proud. Very well-done. This cable car in the cloud forest of Mindo looks fabulous--I can hardly wait!

Thanks
I think we have found a good way to manage our different budgets. Will you be going towards Ecuador soon?

What is soon?
I'm a bit of a drifter, so while I thought I'd be in Ecuador a couple of years ago, I'm still in Arequipa. However, the immigration people said that it appeared I was living here (well, yes, for about 2 years), so they only gave me 3 months. So, yes, I imagine I'll be in Ecuador around mid-May when my 3 months expires here. Soon for me, but I imagine you'll be in some other exotic part of the world by then. I will be in Lima sometime between a couple of weeks to a month from now.
