by: Steve Watkins In: culture, Ecuador, journal, Latin America, photography, Travel on: January 9, 2013An abandoned shack near our home. When we first arrived, a “security guard” was on duty at night and sleeping in our bodega (storage building.) While he was gone one day, I walked inside to see he’d been reading this Bible and devotional and found this scene just as you see it. Vultures on the beach. A lone beer, likely remaining from all the beach-side New Year celebrations. It’s election season in Ecuador and we are less than 30 days out from the presidential/national elections. There are no “yard signs” here, but you can spray paint your ad just about anywhere. One candidate for Assembly, or congress, is Jose Felix “el gato” Alcivar. I love his nickname, “The Cat.” This local home was featured on House Hunters International in late October 2012. This home was also featured on House Hunters International just a few weeks earlier. Long-tailed mockingbird. A stubborn pelican refuses to leave its nest on the beach. Green rocks on the beach.
