Today I went shoe shopping with 3 ladies in the old city of Quito, Ecuador. I wasn’t to excited about the prospect of shoe shopping but the idea of getting to see the old market and taking some pictures was enough for me to bare the 30 shoe stores we’d have to stop at just [...]
While in Banos we seen a student that Lucy’s teaches Spanish lessons to. She was traveling with some guys from Spain for the 3 day weekend. Sunday Lucy and I rented a go-cart to ride around in and hit the roads to find some waterfalls. The Spaniards decided to rent bikes instead and do the [...]
This last weekend I stayed in Banos, Ecuador for 3 days. Monday was a national holiday for Ecuador, there Independence Day so I had no Spanish class for Monday. We left Quito early morning by bus (cost: $3 USD) and arrived in Banos 3 1/2 hours later at about noon time. We had a little [...]
Sunday night I went to mass. Not to confess but because in the town center was the Basilica de Nuestra church. It’s a gorgeous church set in the middle of town that is open to anyone. The night we went it was packed for evening mass, so i skipped out trying to get pictures of the [...]
If the movie “IT” scared the crap out of you as a kid, then maybe Banos isn’t the place for you to go. I went there this weekend and had a blast but one thing I wanted to do on this trip was capture some pictures of the trash cans. Don’t know why, haven’t a [...]
While in Banos this weekend I went out to get some breakfast one morning. Actually it was more like lunch as it was noon time but nonetheless I was getting my first meal for the day. I was walking around and I happen to come along this spice shop. Spices shops are a cool place [...]
Our reward for the days hike in was a fired baked pizza that we had for lunch. We got 1/2 veggie and 1/2 with meat for a total of $5 bucks. I can’t remember the last time I have had fired baked pizza (probably Europe) but once you try it, it’s hard to go back [...]
The first weekend I was in Ecuador I went camping (which was great!) and went hiking the next day. Even though the hike kicked my butt all over, the reward at the bottom was worth it. We ate a little lunch at this restaurant that was next to the river at the end of the [...]
I went shopping with the family a few days ago at a local mercado (market) here in Quito. Ecuador at times can be very expensive for certain items because of import tax. Example would be when I bought a Snickers and Twix bar that cost me $2.60. I thought I had heard the lady wrong [...]
The third post on the wedding and next to the bride the most important…food and drinks! They served a 4 course meal with some 15+ servers walking around. When you sat down you had in front of you 6 glasses ready to be filled with your desire; red or white vino (or both), gas water [...]
More picture from the wedding I attended this last weekend. As promised check out the bottom picture of the Mafia driver hitman…I was ready for that guy to pull out a Tommy-gun any second and spray someone. He just had that look you know!
Maria Fernanda couldn’t have looked better! It was a gorgeous wedding and had fun shooting a few shots here and there, while trying to stay out of the way. I edited the below photos the way I did because…well I just liked it. I prefer B&W when doing important moments because it makes the picture timeless but [...]
