Travel-warp, I'm lost in South America, a few months of Europe and friends and family and a new continent beckons. Ecuador is a country of so much variety, from the Galapagos Islands, Coastal Lowlands, Andean Highlands and the densely jungled interior. It reminds me so much of Guatemala, a country I came to love four years ago, similar experiences; a month spent relearning pigeon Spanish, nights ... Read Full Entry

Ecuador!!
So you're in South America now?!?! When most people send me e-mails saying, "I'm thinking of going to South America" I discount them, thinking that they are saying that, but won't REALLY do it....or at least won't do it for another year or so. You, on the other hand, just pick up and go to South America. Crazy. I loved Ecuador - although I only really saw the Galapagos and went into the jungle (and then hopped over to Macchu Picchu). Enjoy! Have some cui (??) - Deep Fried Guinea Pig. Yum.

Beautiful pictures
I consider myself (as an Ecuadorian who moved to New York 14 years ago, I'm 27) not a patriotic individual, however after watching the pictures you took from Cuenca, my hometown, I have to tell you that they filled my heart with Nostalgia. specially the ones of the children. I had a Vuja De, (the opposite of a Deja Vu) I remember myself being part of such festivities as a child. November third, we celebrate the Indepencence of Cuenca, and if you thought that that was a colorful festival, and if you have a chance, go back during Christmas season, where there are numerous parades dedicated to the birth of Christ. It is an amazing cultural spectacle. Take care
