“Do you like go a Baños con mi family this night?”
“Si, si! But necesito to check with Jamie before I do no bueno!”
“Honey, is it okay if I go?”
“Claro! Have the best time!”
With this quick Spanglish exchange between our landlord’s son, Giovanni, me and Jamie, I was headed to Baños, Ecuador the next morning at 2 am with 43 indigenous Cotacacheños on a private bus!
While I was clearly the much whiter, taller, stepchild of this group, they were wonderfully kind, welcoming and fun. It was an adventure filled with double takes, new and mostly delicious food and monkeys! Speaking of monkeys, below is my 1 minute documentary I made using iMovie to shine a light on the tough life these monkeys lead:
Here’s a sample of the some of the sights (wish I could add the smells too!):
awesome!
Thank you Yaya. We are excited to take Poppie and John to the jungle. Life everywhere.

Hi Desse! We love knowing that people are checking in on us. It makes the distance between us and our home seem not quiet so far. As for the video, I’ll be happy if it is a new hobby…lots work to make those videos. Best to you! Bo
Captions were perfect!!! What fun…
Oh my that was just the laugh I needed this morning! Hilarious captions to your video!
Thanks Paula and Brenda! It’s pretty tough for monkeys to not be hilarious.
Umm….the monkey video, is AWESOME!! My little Madalyn has watched it about 20 times now, laughing harder each time!!
Glad she liked it so much…pretty hard to go wrong with silly monkeys.
