The End of Quito 2025

After two weeks we come to an end of our two week stop in Quito.  Well Luis will stay a few more days and Sebastian and myself are off to Toronto in the morning.  It is a crazy summer of travel, and I have to say  I do feel guilt about the amount of air travel.  Well until I look at the news and think what is the point of even caring, when leaders can just decide climate change is not a thing over night and undo years of people trying to make legislation to do better.  This summer, I have had too many mornings of diving into the news.  I think for the second half of the summer my goal will be not to read it at all.  There is so much wrong and it is so hard to watch feeling helpless. Anyways, that was my little side rant (sort of in a bad mood this afternoon!).

As usual, Luis's family has been amazing.  I think probably why I am in a bad mood!  They are just so kind and I feel like I fail at matching that kindness.  Sebastian will miss his time here, but luckily is also super excited to get to his homeland and see cousin Freda and the house with the river.  It has been two years and his memories are shaky on England.  We will first stop in Canada, which he really does not remember.  I hope we can make some great memories.


Catching up with some of Luis's friends.

Lots of laughs, i will miss them all.
