We arrived in the south of Ecuador in a fairly small town named Vilcabamba. It is known as the city of longevity due to the high numbers of people over 90 who live there. Although, a scientific study recently showed that the exceptionally high numbers of seniors was actually due to a culture of individuals exaggerating age for community status. Not sure what the real story is, but we arrived in this southern equatorial town the day after Christmas. We found Rumi Wilco, an ecolodge that provides an awesome rustic cabin called the Pole House next to the river.
As Andres read the first night I checked out the numerous old books the cabin stored. I found a cool one about snakes. Paging through the book and it’s strange 1960’s text and pictures I came across page 32. Check out the stamp that was there:
I had been missing my friends and family from Fresno. How cool to find this in such a remote place. Made me laugh and wish you all were here.
Love you Fresno.
Hilarious! Man, I wonder who left it there…? Most likely someone we know. Or someone my dad knows. Ha!
Wow, I guess it has been a while since I checked out the blog, you have really made some nice progress. I will have to check up on you guys every week. To be honest, I could have done without the pictures of the rodent… love you guys!!
I love the photo of Andres. Some great work is certainly going on.
