    I truly LOVE how you two do “nothing.” Sounds absolutely divine. Happy movies, “flat white,” and haircuts/color! It all looks good on you!

    I had the same question as Karen- what is a “flat white”? In the meantime what a fabulous little spot in the world. I love the person who advertises everything from driving to interpretation. And who knew drum manufacturing could cover gas in what must be a gas guzzling vehicle as well as food and sustenance for a family of three!

      A “flat-white” is a coffee drink that seems to have originated in England in recent years and become an excuse for Starbuck’s to charge twice as much as they already do for a drink with some milk in it. We found it quite the comment on Vilcabamba’s cosmepolitanism that the drink could be readily found there and for half the price.

    Ha! what a great travel story.
    Billowing harem pants, macrame purses and those Birkenstocks….
    It gives a mild mood, the way you describe it.
    Happy and dry travels in the canoe.

    Wow! What a magnificent, energetic, fun post. Favorite word use this time: superannuated as in old hippies. What is a flat white? Love the photos: the magical and every-changing view, Louis at the movies in a t-shirt outside, Doris at the salon. You seem to have gone over the hump of Wednesday and are now coasting into your trip. Thanks, Karen

      We do indeed, at last, feel we are on the glide path to landing though still to come … seven lodgings, six flights and six hours in a canoe, but who’s counting?!
