The old Quito at night.
Don Enrique, my Quetchua (or Quichua) teacher at his favourite place: his lemon garden in Jatun Pampa = Llano Grande = wide plain north of Quito, 200 m lower, warmer and much dryer although situated so close to Quito. Weeding and watering there with him it there was after all that mountain climbing quite enjoyable.
So peacefully begins everything: My Ecuadorian host family. Soccer star Josue in the center. He has to live here incognito, otherwise Real Madrid would not let him go to school anymore...
Jorgito, inspired paraglider, although always broke. Dreams of becoming an acro pilot. Here on the way to the Rumiñahui, in the background the Cotopaxi.
Kai, sent by the german gouvernment to help people here to develop properly. Here on our flight tour to the Corazon. Later on I land in a tree and he is terribly concerned.
