Well, here I am in Cuenca, Ecuador, four months after I arrived. What a long, strange trip it´s been. I´m here solo for the first time, Klever stayed in the finca to sacar madera, and I´m here taking care of my suegra who has been chronically ill. The only thing we know so far is that she has Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, apart from that it´s unknown.
How do I describe what´s happened the last four months? At times, a dream come true, at times, a nightmare. But things are generally good, I think I can say that.
Two months we spent in Cuenca, two months in Canande. I must say I enjoy myself more in Canande, bathing in the river todos los dias, harvesting cacao to earn a few dollars here in there, life is just very peaceful, and good. I thought I would hate coming back to Cuenca, what with all the pendejadas that happened here a few months back, but I feel oddly at peace.
What is next to come? Only time will tell...
