View of Chimborazo from Riobamba Ecuador
Riobamba Ecuador
This past weekend I made a pilgrimage to Riobamba Ecuador to attend a memorial “Misa” service for my dear friend Marta who died last October. (See:https://playamart.wordpress.com/tag/marta-brito-riobamba-ecuador/ )
I arrived knowing one member of Marta’s family – her lovely granddaughter Rowen, and I left with a huge new circle of ‘extended family.’ Through her beautiful family, Marta lives on through facial expressions and similar voice imprints, especially when they laugh!
Check out those feet!
Cayetina Cruz captivated us with a tribute to Marta… Marta was surely dancing beside her!
In order to work on photos, write while the memories are still fresh and share those experiences with you, I need 30-hour days! Since that wish has little chance of being granted, I’ll leave you with photos and promise to follow with stories soon!

This birthday boy stole my heart; I’ll tell you why in the follow-up stories!

With about 6G (or more) of new photos, I have a lot of work to do for those stories! See you at the end of the week!

The photos tell stories of their own, Z.

photos are wonderful, if you figure out how to get the 30 hour days , with the energy to use them, please let us know, hugs and love amiga
Very nice Amiga,Hugs.
I have often wondered how you do it, but the notion that you are awake and working for 30 hours out of 24 answers the question!! Thanks.
Don’t worry; there are 1440 minutes in a day. That gives you a lot more numbers to play with. 😉
My goodness what a gorgeous place! I’m so glad you could be there for your friend and have the chance to gather a whole new family.
As Rod Steward used to say, “every picture tells a story, don’t it?” The boy with the out-turned feet made me laugh. I recently learned that when turtles are sunning, they turn their feet up and out, to capture more of the sunlight and warmth. Maybe it’s a cross-species thing.
Enjoy your sorting, culling, and story-forming. It is long, hard work — but we’ll wait.
Wonderful images, Lisa. Stand as a beautiful tribute to you friend.
A beautiful thing to do for your friend. And lovely shots.
Don’t worry Lisa, the photos alone tell the story of the beautiful tribute to Marta. Here’s to a 30 hour day! 🙂
Love the photos. Remember, a picture is worth a 1000 words…
Ha! Thank you so much!
