CumpleaƱos Feliz








I have the best wife! She made me a B-day cake and an amazing dinner.

Viernes Santos







Here are a few pictures from the procession on Good Friday.

Swimming at the Exclusive Club







Our host family took us to a private club that they belong to that is 45 minutes outside of Quito. I had to buy a speedo and a swim cap in order to go into the water. I saved you all the horror and decided not to post those pics!

¡Vamos Ecuatorianos!











I got tickets to the World Cup Qualifying game against Paraguay. 36,000 fans going crazy! We had to get to the game 4 hours before hand just to get a seat. Ecuador was up 1-0 until the 90th minute when Paraguay scored to even it out. This result makes it nearly impossible for Ecuador to qualify for South Africa.

San Juan Bosco


Here we are in San Juan Bosco where the Andes drop down into the jungle. We´re getting ready for our crazy excursion with Jungle Dave.
