It seems like most of the people we met here found it the same way. In any event, it is a fantastic hotel/hostel, and we recommend it to all. We […]
ClickNot to belabor the point, but both Ellen and I are sunset junkies. Latitude 1 B&B has not disappointed. There have been a few overcast dusks, but in general we have been treated to great sunsets most every night. Here are some of my favorites (click on any picture for slideshow mode):
ClickMedical Update: Ellen is home (our current home in Ecuador) and doing well. We go in for checkups every other day. You’ll probably getting a Ellen’s Postcard from the Edge soon. Many have been asking about our current lodging situation. We are staying at “Latitude 1 B&B” with our host Susan. She has been a […]
