A View From the
Roof: Reflections on Chochos and Banks
Too Big to Fail: Gary got his adrenaline flowing by reading a best
seller on the recent, (and continuing), financial crisis.
Then things got put into perspective by a walk across our land while
communing with the chochos. Read his reflections and commentary.
Atuntaqui New Year's Parade: Our video offers proof that the men of Atuntaqui really do strut their stuff. G-strings, bikinis,
boas and bangles ruled the day.
Warning: This video is not suitable for the straight-laced
or squeamish.

A "Delicious" Surprise:
I have received two surprising gifts lately and they both involve apples
from far-away places. As a result of one of them, I’m on the
lookout for Mrs. Bramley. She’s plump, yellowish and rather
seedy, but absolutely irresistible. And I hear she makes a great
pie.
Ecuador
News: President Correa

return for money and other bribes.
