The top one is a photograph of a bunch of Miguel's paintings in the entry room of my former home in Quito. A number of them are depictions of matadors, but Miguel always makes sure to emphasize that there are rodeo alternatives where the ¨killers¨will merely rope the animal to the ground.
The middle picture is my new home in La Libertad. It is very nice, to say the least. Carla and Tom are in the doorway, but you can't really see them.
I've included this last picture for Brandon. Sana Sana is a pharmaceutical chain in Ecuador and they are more ever-present here than Walgreen's is in the United States. Incredible. I always joke that whoever owns all the Sana Sana´s owns Ecuador, which is only partially true. I don´t know why it´s called Sana Sana, though, because the chain´s mascot is clearly a frog, and the word for frog is rana. I´m thinking sana is some hybrid of salud (health) and frog (rana), but I could just be making things up to appease myself.
