Learning the language | Espanol

humans have so many different languages.  So if we travel, we come across these different... verbal conventions. We gotta learn how to speak to the locals.

 

or, this is easier, as a STOP GAP MEASURE

Dancing is a big activity

 It's very popular, the dancing in these parts of the world.  I would say, more popular than it is in USA.  There is surely dancing in USA, but it is different. It is kinda more free-flow. The USA has more freedom and experimentation.

So in South America, or if you prefer, Latin America, the dancing is more traditional.  It is structured. and they dance in a more serious way, as to what the activity means.  In USa, it's become just another thing to do.  It has no structure or tradition.  I mean, there is some, there are always exceptions.

Climbing El Penon | Victory!

 What a climb!! I thought it would be difficult and strenuous. And it did not disappoint. 

 FIRST - this is what you observe, the area at the base of the Rock.  What it looks like, with the facilities, restaurants, and it a land of rolling hills and waterways.  It is predominated nowadays by a vast reservoir - which is water for nearby Municipalities. . 

Ecuador status

 What a beautiful land.  What else is going on in the Ecuador?  Sector of the equator on planet Earth.    It is political! but Nooooo!!  We try to get away from that B.S. 

That's all I am going to post about the "violence".

Tour of Tourist Barrio, Ritzy sector

So I grabbed a taxi to the more touristy barrio (far from where I live)

Arte Market in Parque (flea market) at Catedral Municipio

    This is a good location to visit, if you want to check-out a lot of interesting stuff. Mucho cosas.  The periodic market is an event held every other Saturday of the month, starting on the first Saturday. It is next to the Catedral Municipio - or at its front yard. 

 

Food is cheaper

 As we already established the fact.  Food is cheaper (and the other factor is that the Dollar is still stronger) So those two things combined, make for a good advantage.  Food is a basic in life and survival. it is daily, it is practical and logical. It is reality. So when you look at the reality, it makes sense to be here instead.

Now the question arises of the future prospects, the long-term. What will happen when the Dollah is crashing?  That may occur overnight, quite suddenly.  The smart response, convert before that happens, to some silver and gold.

Museo ARTe and Historia

 What a cultural experience.  It is a fine institution.  I was glad to start to examine the contents of their collection.  Need more time to observe all of it. Another visit is hoped for....

Can we has more Honey?

 Honey for my tribe and family!

Dave's referal: website of mucho info

 This Animale image is from landedtravel.com 

 ON another website Dave found, it covers many regions. Including a section on the parts of South America where i am, my focus currently.  https://www.theunconventionalroute.com/cascada-el-tigre-waterfalls-el-valle/

Does this mean, I am going to trek over there?  Well I would love to.  but can I afford it? afford the time, or the money?? Maybe not, Pete (as PROCOPIO SAYS)  In the ideal world, I would be able to do it.  It is actually and truthfully, one of the best regions.  it is very very rugged and undeveloped. and will never be developed, is my prediction. and vow! mwuahaha.

Here is the basics of this "country".  I will tell you, it is well-defended land.  Essentially, if you fly-in, you get to the center.  That's where most people happen to live, those sheeple (as you find them grazing all over the world in clustered groupings, the flock of sheeple)

From that central starting pint, there are three directions you can head out.  I am not going to tell you... secret.  But this website details one of those directions into a region which is paradise, but not my priority or capability right now.

I read the page about this trip to the place on the huge Pacifico, with FIVE waterfalls.  It linked to a map. I looove mapas.  So here are screenshots of that: 

MUSICAL INTERLUDE

 WHILE IN SOUTH AMERICA, I STILL HAVE THE HABITS OF LISTENING TO THE MUSICA OF THE USA.  

Here are some; any you prefer?

From Astronomy P-O-V {is there FLAT EARTH?}

 From the point-of-view, sky Sun Moon watching, positioning! As you may know, I've studied Astronomy in-depth.  Along with Geography, Physics, Mythology, interdisciplinary (Tasciotti, P.E.)  LATITUDE OF THE SUN'S ZENITH

    I was elated to find out, by my observations, during this travel ---  my crossing under and to the other side of the LATITUDE OF THE SUN'S ZENITH.  I am to the South of it! Very exciting!  Also, this obviously includes the LATITUDE OF THE MOON'S ZENITH, which is more variable.  and the thing is with the Moon, sometimes it will cross to my South, even here.

   All of this is elementary/basic science, so it's not so much of a discovery, as it is AN EXPERIENCE in real-life!

    I first noticed it and made a Unique documentary video - watch that here!!!  This is Science at its best, the real deal. 

this first video is when I realized what I was observing, with the DIRECTION OF THE SUN CASTED SHADOWS:

What is this Strange Fruit or Vegetable

Is it Frutas?

Tourism Hiking up Hill, to Historic Site

 Above pics: the modern Art Sculpture park @ Top of the Hill, Cerro Nutibara

        Hiking, walk the walk, for exercise and fun.  Here's a series of video clips I made while on my Day to the historic site.  I was alone and determined to enjoy that hard fact.  Because if you don't, eventually you would get d e p r e ss e d.  That's not allowed to happen. I had a great time.  With a crowd of other tourists. which is not typical of my habits.  I am not really a tourist.  You know, when I travel, I just transform into a "local". 

what was i doing before i went ABROAD?

WELL IT LOOKS LIKE I BELONG IN ANOTHER CONTINENT ANYHOW

Shopping

this is a documentary of the Shopping.  it is for the basic necessities. mostly food.

yes it is very much more Affordable. Way cheaper than USA

 

Going out to eat

As stated in the previous post, when I go out, it will be documented.  So we can "all go out together". 

Cooking in my kitchen

    In my little apartment, I have a little kitchen luckily. I make use of it, when I can. I'm usually busy researching and writing, but making food, eating well, and taking care of yourself has to be done. Can't become lazy!  And can't go out to eat all the time!  I wish I could be served and catered to, more often.  

   But when I do go out, I will be sure to document it and share it with you. So we can all go out together. 

  

This is the Intro, the full video will be on youtube...

It's about the Comida!

 Comida! It is the word in Espanol. 

How did I get here? click and read the intro......................................................

     How did I get here? and Now are you joining me virtually.  Your answers begin OOhhhh....   

I was gradually making my way down the East Coast, from the upstate hudson valley, I am originally from there.

Once again, I had been living there for several years and the home property deal went sour! So I wrapped-up the situation by this past Winter and decided to leave the bad luck.  The major financial economic strain. For what?! New York city and region is notorious for being a greedy over-hyped mecca of the dollar rulership.  I've suffered it enough and gained enough experiences.  High-time came to explore the world - nobody has to be stuck, if they have a willpower to wander and roam!

( next post: It's about the Comida.  Can we enjoy it and can we afford it?? )

So as I contemplated my big plans, I meandered through the Great Smokeys, then the Piedmont of the Deep South, then onwards to the souther-most tip of the major Peninsula (you know where - I refrain to use state names) 

travel plans.. to be adjusted as i meandered
