Another year has flown by for me and it is hard to believe. Every time I wonder "is this year that I am going to grow up?"
I sure hope not!
My birthday was great, we had an excellent dinner at a really cool seafood restaurant on the river just outside of Cabarette. The moon was full and it was just about perfect. The 27th is a national holiday here (Independence Day) so we had the day off allowing us to go out after dinner. It was really a great night. One that allowed me to reflect on how truly lucky I am. My life is truly charmed.
It has been four very different settings for my last four birthday and next year Ecuador will be yet another new one. GET IN!


That is actually a reflection of the moon in the river...sooo beautiful!
