Arbitrary Lines: Back in the Saddle
http://carolynandtristan.blogspot.com/2010/03/back-in-saddle.html
Formerly From Russia with Love . . . our adventures living around the world. Wednesday, March 17, 2010. Back in the Saddle. Well, we've been back in Quito for just over three weeks. Sleep deprivation makes cultural adjustment feel more extreme than it probably is. I am spending my days at home with Lillian learning how to manage household staff and remember how to speak Spanish after 10 weeks off. Fingers and mouth meet. Plumbers- I'll refrain from further comment. We also had some water damage to the wo...

Formerly From Russia with Love . . . our adventures living around the world. Monday, June 7, 2010. Pico y Placa and La Secretaria.

Here's a pic of one of the big roadside stands in Quito. Hi you all, love the new pics and info. Interesting about the traffic control ideas. Did you get to say hello to Hilary?

Autumn has come to the US but the weather seems about the same here in Quito, although slightly warmer and more sunny of late. October is supposed to be the start of the rainy season but I think climate change has messed with that pattern. We love our house but like most houses here, it doesn't have central heating and is cold on the rainy/cloudy days. So, what have we been up to? Helping Daddy pick a...
