Hi to family and friends. My second month has gone as fast as the first.
After my visit to Cotacachi the next stop was Atahualpa where Edwin is from. I took the bus south and got off along the highway at a intersection then waited for the family to pick me up. Atahualpa is way cool! Beautiful area that gets a lot of rain at an elevation over 9000ft.. My kind of town, small, no taxi’s, farm community and wonderful people! Lots of old history. The town cemetery dates from the time of the Inca’s. The family treated us to a wonderful lunch and a tour that barely touched the beauty of the area. I will be back to spend some more time there for sure. A big “thank you” to Edwin’s parents and the whole family that made us so welcome!
Daniela’s birthday party was a good time. Family, good food and dancing. My kind of day.
Senora Saruyi came from Japan to visit. She is part of the family and it was a pleasure to meet her. She brought with her different Kimono’s in which she took the time to dress up the women around here. She is planning on moving to Ecuador and teaching the Japanese language and customs very soon.
I know the corona virus has got the world in a big spin. Everyone keep your chin up it will be over before you know it. Keep your toilet paper and your powder dry and it will all work out.
Take care and be safe!
