February 14, 2016February 14, 2016 Ellen 2 Comments Ecuador, Point of Interest

  I have never been a Hallmark holiday kind of gal, but today was a fantastic day for us! We are at the edge of the Amazon rain forest entrance.  It is a town called Tena.  I am not yet allowed to river raft or exert to much but we went on a small flat […]

Carole King and Cat Stevens are singing to me and Steve is tolerating it pretty well.  We have made it to the ocean! I keep getting asked what it is like to be on the road together so much,what do we do?  How are we getting along?  Well, we read a lot, listen to books […]
