1 Apr 2018 (Cusco, Peru): Yesterday in Quito and today (last night we stayed in the airport hotel in Lima) have been rough for me. The immodium I took before the jungle has completely worn off, and Leah has been a champ taking care of me feeling miserable while we trudge from Quito to Lima […]

Day 85

31 Mar 2018 (Quito, Ecuador): I’ve been reading a bunch about money (mostly because of Bitcoin) and some pieces about the deep structural problems of fiat currency, particularly the US dollar. Ecuador has put some perspective on that. The late 90s sounds like it was an unadulterated shitshow here. Credit booms, high-risk government-backed loans, weather-related […]

This is a gigantic kapok tree that towers above everything around it a mere 30-minute canoe ride away, and they’ve built a lookout post right into it. We woke up at 4:45 this morning to peep some early […]

28 Mar 2018 (Pilchicocha, Ecuador): The days here include intermittent downtime in the surprisingly loud jungle and of course, lots of nature walks. On one of them, we spotted by far the largest spider I’ve ever seen out of a cage. Our nature guide told us a bunch of stuff about the species and then […]

Day 81

27 Mar 2018 (Pilchicocha, Ecuador): We’re on a 4-night-3-day trip into the rainforest, and right out of the gate we see squirrel monkeys passing directly above us. They have bright yellow hands and feet, and they travel through the canopy in groups of up to 200.
