ECUADOR:  Every so often Life presents us with precious gifts when we least expect them. Didier Galindo breezed into my life during the opening of The Mola Series back in May of this year.  We became instant friends, and have enjoyed swapping ideas and attitudes about art.   While my paintings made their three-museum “Mola Series” tour, Didier was busy working on material for his upcoming show, Senderos de Luz,  in Bahia de Caraquez.  (Mola Series Summary- see: My Cup Runneth Over)

Abundancia – This bull and I had a staring contest;  He held my gaze, and we parted as friends!

Several weeks ago after a work week with ESCoffee  in Guayaquil, I stopped in Manta and visited with Didier.  Finished with his paintings, he walked with me across town, and I introduced him to my multi-talented friend, Gonzalo, who does my printing.   As we criss-crossed lanes of traffic,  Didier witnessed my concern when an acquaintance from my past appeared with no warning.

Lovely Gabby, of Museo Cancebi/Manta, Ecuador adds her special touch to the group “I CAN DO THIS” painting.

This Man’s Journey’s theme for the week is Summertime Blast.  Through a beautifully-narrated photo post, he shares the high points of his family’s summertime memories.   Because I live on the equator, the past three months did not represent long days of summer vacation time, but exhibiting in three museums provided a blast of memories…

Monkey see, monkey do, I see a monkey just like YOU! (Museo Bahia de Caraquez)

Each museum offered different experiences, and visitors quickly transformed into new and dear friends.

Many tour groups visited Museo Cancebi in Manta

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!
