Burros, Bus Ride in Ecuador, Museo Bahia De Caraquez Ecuador, Weekly Photo Challenge Inside, WordPress Post a Day
Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore!
This week’s photo challenge is “Inside.“ Short and sweet, my contribution comes from Friday afternoon’s bus ride from Portoviejo (Ecuador) to Cruzita. The bus ride, though not short or sweet, did provide some interesting photo moments. The man and his burro is my favorite, shot from the front seat (!) of Cruzita’s ‘ranchero-blaring’ bus!
There are several more posts in queue, and then I’ll be offline most of the week. It’s showtime at Museo Banco Central in Bahia de Caraquez, starting Thursday night, opening reception:

With a smirk I confess that I have my own little burro, a mini laptop that has handled all of my computer demands for the past year! Every post, every photo on this blog emerged via a slow-thinking and slightly visually impaired mini screen!
I used the museum’s computer last week, and shazam! – I realized that it’s past time to upgrade! When I noted how quickly the computer obeyed my commands and saw my posts on the ‘huge’ screen, my jaw dropped!
Little burro has done well, but it’s petite brain cannot handle too much more data; it has been balking lately and threatening to protest if I ask for much more work! If I vanish from cyberspace, you’ll know that Little Burro won its right to a vacation!
“How much can a burro handle?” – Time to upgrade to a Thoroughbred or Quarter Horse!
Have a great week everyone!

Ay, pobre burrito!
JajajaJA! 😀
Poor little fellow indeed! All the best with your show.
Thank you! He’s done well, though has recently started complaining and protesting a lot. I’d hoped to purchase a new one when I visit the States – options and prices are much better. This week will be a busy one, so the burro will get some rest! Z

Wishing you the best with the upcoming show and with changing burros.
You too are forever kind, positive and encouraging! Thanks to WordPress, we have an amazing network of positive people to be thankful for!
Oh but you will miss trusted old friend – until you open the box for the new old friend.
So very true! Old friend’s frailness concerns me, and he’ll appreciate when reinforcements arrive! I’ll have to remember to give ole burro attention every so often or place him where he can marvel at the new one’s performance!
Thanks, Z
What a fun response to the challenge. The final photo made me laugh. Hope you get a new “burro” soon! Yours is lookig a little over-loaded!
Hugs,
Kathy
Si, it’s holding a year’s worth of images and data, and it doesn’t have enough power to communicate with an incredible external hard drive that my friend Marie gave me! Living so far off the grid does have its moments, but thankfully I’ve always adored burros!
Believe me, that last photo of the non-metaphorical burro is stunning when seen full-size! Best wishes for the show, and thanks for these delights.
“Is it?” I questioned and then laughed!
The photo was taken in the Andes near Vilcabamba.
Muchas gracias!
Charming photos! Before you switch “burros”, think about getting a standalone hard drive to save everything from the old one a good idea anyway in case the old one gets sick! – and if you delete large iles from the old one, it may serve well as a backup for a while!
Thank you! The irony is that I have one, but the small laptop doesn’t have enough power to communicate with a powerful standalone!!! I have an ancient laptop that is too frail to open it either. What happened to my ‘good’ laptop is a story in itself, though the short story is that it’s awol!!!! Thanks! Z

Your photos brought back fond memories of my visit to Ecuador. Those little burros really work very hard.
Thanks! Yes, I love the burro-icons in Ecuador! So far they’re not part of a vanishing species, and I see them almost daily when I’m traveling through the countryside! Z
Wonderful post. There are so many fascinating things to see when viewed from the inside of a moving vehicle. I few months ago, my son and I rode a bus that took me to my hometown. He got to see what real life is outside the comforts of our home for the first time.
That is so great! You are giving your son such a beautiful life, and you are teaching him – and others – the value of openly sharing your love of your family to others. Thank you for sharing so much of your personal life and lighting the way for others! Z
I see where the burro comes from now. But has Little Burro earned its right to a vacation or is it permanent oblivion? Yes, pobrecito… But I really like the first picture, so many beautiful details all the way to the little man on the wind-shield wiper.
hey! good morning from ecuador where i am recovering from bronchitis and cough-cough-coughing myself through the day and night.
even though the thoroughbred happily awaits its chance to run around the track, i’ve been too tired to look in that direction. little burro surely smirks as it carries me through this surprise down time.
soon i will introduce the two and transfer the bulk of the data that’s been waiting in queue. lightening the load will surely give the burro a new energy! he needs a trip to the vet to be sure he’s free of nasty parasites!!!!
he will still be my travelling companion, though i look forward to having a computer that communicates with an external hard drive and is a fast thinker!
i am glad that you enjoyed the images – one of these days i’ll need to paint a burro!
thanks for your feedback, and have a great day!

I wish you a fast recovery – and I am glad to read there is a bit life left for the burro after all.
