Back to normal is nice, but what a great time I had

Loved Germany as always. It feels like home †o me.. A friend and I biked on the side of the Rhine River and visited some other places, close to Koblenz. The weather was perfect, didn't miss the heat we experienced in Rome or Florence, and that was waiting for me in Houston.

After my trip to Europe I had to go to Ecuador for two weeks.Very conveniently, I scheduled a business meeting just before a huge Family Party in Cuenca. My uncle turned 80 and my aunt and cousins invited the family (I have 40 cousins) to come to Cuenca for the weekend. This might sound really cheesy, but heaven must be a little like those hours we spent together... So much joy, singing, crying, laughing out loud. People from all ages dancing together and having a blast!
Those cuencanos are really hospitable people... Everywhere I went people were so kind. It was a little contrasting to how some people treated us in Italy or Spain.. Well, we have to understand, July is too warm for them... My cousin from Barcelona say that during July and August, people open their businesses late and mad that they have to open them.

Anyway, I can say I spent the month of July doing what I like the most: taking thousands of photographs, and sharing them in Facebook or Picasa (link on the right). I did it mostly for my closest friends, but the truth is they are not that good with internet, so many other people I barely know commented and followed our trip
