Ok, I have a confession. I didn’t even get dressed or showered today. I think I brushed my teeth.
My morning started at 7 am in front of my computer. The first thing I tackle in the morning, after getting coffee, is my Spanish lesson. Then I move to my stock account and mess with it, setting up trades or doing some research. After that I write my Ecuador blog update, unless I already did it before I went to bed the night before.
When I finish these things, I read online and/or write for my coaching blog for a little while. Usually around noon I want to get outside and go do something. Well, I invested myself in my writing project today and I didn’t finish it until 8 pm . The clock says I have been at my desk for 13 hours. I even ate breakfast and lunch sitting here.
I am taking a knee
I invested my day in bringing awareness to racial justice issues in America. If you didn’t see my article you can read it here. Heidi was nice enough to do some of her artistic modifications on a photo I used in my article. I’m not sure where the original came from.
I have spent my day well. Living here in Ecuador, I am not bombarded with many of the distractions I had at home in the States. Because of that, I’m allowed to tap into some inner areas of exploration.
I’m enjoying this journey.

Hi Todd

Hi Mike,
That would be great, and the logistics may not work out. I am in Cuenca right now which is a 4 hour drive from Guayaquil and 6 hours from the coast itself. When my wife and I did our 10 day tour of the coast, we wanted to visit Cuenca but it was just in the wrong direction so we didn’t make it. We plan on moving back to the coast after the first of the year and want to live in an area Puerto Lopez and south. It seems this area did not suffer any earthquake damage.
I love the coast of Ecuador, even the earthquake area, but I admit we are still a bit gun shy of getting caught in another one. Have a great trip Mike. Thanks for reading my blog and let me know how your trip goes!
Todd
