Flying over the Andes. LAN airline ROCKS!

Greeted with a little Coca Tea. Definitely helps with the altitude.

Backyard at the compound. At different times of the day, I'd see faces in the mountains.

Simba and Nala ruled the yard.

Sacred valley of the Incas, indeed.

First night....

Appreciation

Holy Crap. Thank You.

For the first time in two months I'm gonna have my own space. That was not an easy thing to do. I cannot believe it and am so grateful.

It's been a crazy month and I'm so happy for a little relief. Moving all my shizat - TODAY.

Ecuador

Santa Marianita

La Casa de Cana

Living room

(La Cama)

A 20 minute drive in the VW van complete with dogs chasing it and trying to bite off the bumpers and we arrived in Santa Marianita.

The house is open and amazing. Made completely with bamboo including the nails. No TV, just watch the whales jumping out of the water instead. Waking up early with the light and the ocean waves breaking. Add a little Ecuadorian coffee and fresh baked bread from a neighboring lady Paul knows and just like that the day begins.

Rain

Lovin' the rain from my 1800 year-old window.

Monday

Just another day at the office... Kayak tour for four.

As a kid when it snowed, I used to go into the lot next door and push my sled through the bushes making trails as I went. Just realized this kinda looks familiar.

What a Difference a Desk Makes

Holy crap.

If I had known working on a desk was this awesome, I would have bought one years ago.

Got this sawhorse desk last week and was amazed at how easy it was to assemble and now I'm amazed how easy it is to work on which I got to enjoy today.

The whole house is made of Dade county pine which makes you feel like you're living in a log cabin. I LOVE IT. Great light and I have a big window facing a park.
