Home again

 I had to take a break so on the 1st of Nov. I flew home from Ecuador. I left my computer and cell phone with the friendly hotel thief in Quito and am now regrouping for the next leg of the adventure in 2011. I will up date as I get back on the road.It was a very eye opening and interesting journey.

Quito Ecuador

Just got into Quito and have settled down in a downtown hostel a old converted home in a pleasant area.I spent my last few days in Coronado a Private gate guarded community near Panama City a very nice place all private NO one on the beach and the area is full of huge fancy homes   nobody home ahh the ideal Rich. Back   what a waste 30% poverty in panama maybe the commies had something re: redistribution NO not really but its sad to see the huge  difference in classes , saw plenty of that driving across the U.S. Back to Quito.the people here are sooo different than Central Am. much mor  relaxed and slower speaking and very different looking than Panama. I think Im going to like it here. I will pst some pictures in the next few days.

Hi , Anybody reading this send a email Its raining in Las Lajas Panama. I had hoped for sun  did get it yesterday. But today no such luck. Thats ok Im free and there is always tomorrow. I will stay here 3 days and then to Coronado then Panama city and off to Ecuador I had almost 1 month in Boquete where it was also very rainey but so lovely, lots of Americans living there. They almost all had a interesting story. Its seem almost all are either just coming and are excited about life in Panama or are trying to get out after lossing lots of money on there over priced property.Life is not easey her, its different. After talking to both sides I think its best to stay uninvolved with the local economy of So or Centeral America and just enjoy a nice long relaxing vacation.No worries   I will write from Quito.
