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!

Check out those feet!

Cayetina Cruz captivated us with a tribute to Marta… Marta was surely dancing beside her!

(Near Volcano Chimborazo and Guaranda Ecuador)

P1580255 guaranda bound burro  fogMy friends Hank and Marie trusted my recommendations and veered off the beaten path to view the lovely snow-capped Volcano Chimborazo.  Beyond “Chimbo” was the quiet Andean city of Guaranda, our destination for the next few days.

Time slows while white-knuckle driving through dangerous cloud-shrouded mountain switchbacks.  I had traveled that road ten years earlier, and at times I wondered if I had pointed us in the wrong direction!   Continue reading →

Chimborazo, Ecuador, Ecuadors Melting Snow Caps, Global Warming, Melting Glaciers, Volcano Cayambe, Volcano Chimborazo, World Wetland Day, WP Daily Prompt Think Global Act Local

The WordPress Daily Prompt states this:  “Think global, act local.”  Write a post connecting a global issue to a personal one.”

Words failed us.  We were no longer comfortably numb!

Words failed us. We were no longer comfortably numb!

“At 6,268 metres (20,564 ft) ”Chimbo,” the highest peak in Ecuador and the farthest point from the center of the earth on the planet, will forever be branded in our hearts!”

(Above photo and quote from: Mystical Andes, published here on November 16, 2012.)

Several pages on my screen reflected an environmental issue as I pondered today’s WordPress Daily Prompt.  This post grants me an easy way to share those global concerns with you. Continue reading →

Ailsa Where's My Backpack Mystical, Chimborazo, Ecuador, HIghest peak in Ecuador

On retrospect, I think that this shaggy burro mystically appeared to lead us out of the Andean mist. (Photo by Marie Groff)

Ailsa’s prompt for this week’s challenge is Mystical. Before dashing off for the day, I wanted to share these images from a magical mystical Andean experience that brought tears to Marie’s eyes and to mine.  Hank, the intrepid driver, most likely suffered from our same affliction!

A friend says that he loves my stories, but it's a shame that I'm in an institution in Mississippi and making this all up!
