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.

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".

Arte Market in Parque (flea market) at Catedral Municipio
