Pictures from July 4


This photo and the next one were taken in the afternoon at a local park named Carolina-- great atmosphere with lots of kids and things to do. I plan to return for a few games of soccer... it just wouldn´t be fair if I played basketball with these people!


Here are my colleagues Hilary, Andrew, and Alisa looking like lost gringoes-- the mountain in the background was beautiful but apparently not picturesque.



Hillary - ?? - Eleanor - Andrew - Matthew - Hilary at our first lunch. Good folks. We´re going to get along well.



Disembarking from the trolley-- the Afro-Ecuadorean in the hat got onto the trolley with a beatbox and started rapping like crazy about Jesus. It encouraged me, if no one else!


Same trolley trip-- this fellow was already drunk at midday-- and his brain was very much worse for the wear after years of alcoholism. A boisterous but sad reminder of the social ills that plague Latin America and much of the rest of the world.
