Lucas swimming in the pool where our friends live in Casa Blanca on the coast. He still swims like a dog but with some support of a ball he is doing quite good and it is almost impossible to get him out of the water.

Mompiche with dinner

Everybody at dinner as we went to Mompiche for an afternoon/night to sheck out a hostel there.

Kiara playing with samd outside our house on the coast. The guy taking care of the place got a bit irritated after our first hours there as Kiara wanted to throw the sand everywhere including the pool and the table soccer game.

Soccer game

Lucas, Laura and Kiara had a game of table soccer or whatever you call this game. Kiara had as you can see some problems to follow the game but did her best to help her mom.

Tortuga Bay

Our partners Pierre, to the left, and Lasse got stuck at the marine Iguanas for a long time. Especialy Lasse that is a profesional photograph burned a couple of memory cards here.

Lazzzy Iguanas

I took our partners for a walk to Tortuga Bay on Santa Cruz, Galapagos Islands, the other week and as usual the marine Iguanas were sleeping all over the place.

Coming back from a visit to the djungle the other week I had this view over one of the smo caped volcanos in Ecuador while playing with my new camera and couldn't help taking som pictures. Dont ask me what volcano it is because it was way to cloudy to orientate myself along the Andean mountains.

We had some visitors from our partner in Sweden who I took for a walk in the old town of Quito. Here is the famous "La Ronda" where the first recidensial houses was built by the Spanish people a long time ago and since they cleaned up this street a couple of years ago it is one of the most beautiful places in the old town to see.
