=========================
12:00 A very interesting experience yesterday.
Went to Malacatos for the birthday of the son of the schools owner. I had a good time, nice people good weather great food and great hosts.
When it was time to leave, Mr b and I walked to the bus station.
While waiting for the bus a rather intoxicated gentleman with a pigs head started talking to us. Usually in these types of situations I don’t try and in-courage the conversation, but I am also not rude. I find the middle ground is the safest.
After about 10 minutes of hearing about the pigs head… the great meat in the cheeks…the ablility to speak english, spanish, russian and chinese ( and spanglish whatever that is) a taxi pulled up that was going our way. It is normal for long distance taxis to be shared.. So we hopped in and much to my dismay, so did the man with the pigs head. He spent the trip showing me the head, talking, and generally entertaining us ( though not intentionally)
Mr b was laughing so hard he was crying. I had to hold back, since I was next to him so as not to be rude.
It was a fun ride… Though I had to wash my jeans since I was not sure if I had any blood on them, and it was the first time I have ever had a pigs head on my lap.

21:50 I have had a few interesting experiences in my life, but a taxi ride with a drunk Ecuadorian who kept waving his pigs head in my face and putting it on my lap rates as one of the more interesting ones

Friday 31 August 2012
=====================
14:49 This has been a rough week. It has been cold and rainy which makes it difficult to keep the spirits up.
Mr b leaves in a couple of weeks for his home, and he is really excited about that. It is tough to share his enthusiasm. I have been looking at when and how and how much to get to Toronto to deal with my stuff.
I am also up I’m the air about if I doing a 2 week course in Zamora or not… First it is on, then it is not then it is.
My ideas for a photo tour are shaping up, but I am having trouble connecting with the people I need to to make I happen.
Oh well, it is Friday and the fair is in town…

10:11 On Friday I was told I may have a class on Monday, but they would confirm on Saturday but no messages or calls.
Started trying to contact the school about 8:30. Finally got an answer around 9:00.
Sunday 26 August 2012
=====================
16:38 Yesterday I went for a long walk with a nice lady. It was an enjoyable way to re-find a part of the city I had been too before, but wasn’t sure where it was.
Today I spent a couple of hours talking about my favorite topic ( photography) then doing some more work on my web site.
My friend, mr b, has announced his plan to head home to Michigan. I will miss him.
Our recent conversations about what to do and where to go has increased my restlessness. I am looking at other opportunities, but nothing is jumping at me… Though the photo tour idea is still forefront in my brain.
I do have a great idea for a school, but that is being pushed due to not having a proper partner.
