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:
