THE FOOTNOTES

This is my friend, Isabel. She invited me to visit with her and her family this past summer in Quito. I had a great visit! This photo was taken on their little farm about an hour outside the city. It's a good life there, if you can set aside some conventional concerns about crime, roaming dogs, and traffic! There is always a dog barking somewhere and I was up awake many nights worrying about the street dogs. I can't help it.
