ClickMary asked for more details on living arrangements. I didn’t really take many photos of the first two situations. But here is a quick briefing: You got to see the Mejia house in the Christmas post. Richard’s apartment was quite roomy, had 2.5 baths, and a nice kitchen (albeit without an oven). By far […]
ClickLast Friday we left Cuenca for a weekend in Loja, about 3 1/2 hours south by van. From Wikipedia: The city of Loja was founded by Field Marshal Alonso de Mercadillo in 1548, and it is named for his hometown of Loja in Spain. Originally located near La Toma in the Catamayo canyon since 1546, […]
ClickSunday morning we headed out to check out the city. It was a beautiful sunny day, and the air is clear. Turns out, most of the businesses (including restaurants) are closed on Sundays. We walked past a plaza with vendors selling primarily Christmas stuff – lights, manger figures, etc. This, by-the-way, is the route that […]
Click” More reliably than anything else on earth, the road will force to live in the present.” Over my cold! Started Spanish class today. It was fun! My French accent gets in the way some, but overall I wasn’t as bad as I thought I’d be. My main concern is actually speaking. My understanding is […]
ClickI’m happy to say that Ellen felt much better today. We packed up, had breakfast, and headed over to the van company across the street. We decided to go with the van, even though it was $3.50 more per person. It was just across the street. On the van, an Ecuadorean told us that the […]
ClickMake no mistake! Any flight that leaves at 10:45 pm is a red-eye flight. We can vouch for it. We caravanned from Sunshower Farm to SFO on Tuesday morning with a stop a Philz coffee on the way. Philz is a hot new thing in coffee, where they have about 20 different flavors that they […]
ClickIt’s been a bit since the last post. I developed a viral infection about a week ago. Ellen got it a few days later. Not fun, and we’re presumably on the mend, but worry about carrying it with us on the flight. Blakey flew down last Friday. We hung a bit in Lalaland. Saturday we […]
ClickHaving had the opportunity to experience Blakey’s tiny house, I am loathe to call where we are living a tiny house. In fact, here are some interesting tiny house facts: Tiny houses may not have more than 400 square feet excluding lofts The day I posted the Blakey’s Tiny House blog, I got 5 times […]
ClickCarole King and Cat Stevens are singing to me and Steve is tolerating it pretty well. We have made it to the ocean! I keep getting asked what it is like to be on the road together so much,what do we do? How are we getting along? Well, we read a lot, listen to books […]
ClickBlakey was a great tour guide, exploring Santa Cruz and its surrounding area with us. We drove up to UC Santa Cruz. I didn’t get photos, but the place seemed like a ski resort without snow. The buildings didn’t look anything like any college I’ve ever seen. It is located on top of a mountain, […]
