In case you've been wondering...

where we are, we've been wandering... first to Columbia and now this month to visit Rich's family while soaking in all the beauty that is Ecuador. There will be lots of pictures to come, but here's a peek...

I don't think it's possible to take more pictures than I've taken. People are beautiful and gracious here, even more than I remember them being from my last visit.

and the mountains, well they can speak for themselves...

all of my senses have been amazed and re-amazed, and every walk and car ride has me declaring it the most beautiful or moving thing I've seen. It's gritty and majestic...

and wild too...

it's been nice to be removed for awhile...already 2 weeks, but it seems more like 5 minutes. I hope that I can appreciate it all while I'm here, and take some perspective back with me this time when we return to the states in a few weeks.
