This little town really packs the action! I´ve been here less than twenty four hours and have done so much already! Today I climbed through a cloud forest and found a small five hectare banana farm for sale. they want five thousand dollars for five hectares. It overlooks Baños and there is a mule trail to get things from the town the owner´s name is Patricio and He took me up the trail to a cross that sits high up on the mountain. I then found a trail that leads to a small pueblo called Runtun. Runtun sits halfway up Volcan Tungurahua that is, as we speak, spewing lava. I´m gonna mountain bike the cascade trail tomorrow then Back pack to Runtun. I found a soccer game with the U-12 select team for the area and participated in a scrimmage...so fun. Then I walked to a waterfall at the edge of town and sat by these pools of ¨holy water¨ really cool. It´s about one o´clock and I´m gonna meet up with some English Lads I met on the trail to watch Man U. play. Love to everyone and keep the updates coming.
P.S. Uncle Pete if you want a Banana farm in Ecuador I will happily buy the mules and fix up a cottage! Send Poppie my love.

Can you just rub it in a little- about the great places you are seeing and adventures you are having? Sounds like a slice of paradise! -- As Aunt Vivian used to say. I will try to talk to Uncle Pete about the banana plantation. Poppie arrived back in Mobile, on Sunday. He had a busy stay; helping me take care of a plumbing problem at the house. Yes, Emilie is expecting a baby in May. Thank you for the updates. I love you always- Mom
