ALBANY HILLTOWNS BLOG

(Click on title above to go to new blog)

Not having enough to keep me busy I have created a new blog for Albany Hilltowns. My thinking is that this way people can subscribe, and I will only be sending out updates on Albany Hilltowns genealogy and history to those who have an interest in that subject.... Take a look and subscribe.

OTAVALO, ECUADOR

We are in Otavalo, Ecuador in the Andes where we are have taken a bungalow for four nights at Ali Shungu Mountain Lodge. The bungalow has two bedrooms, a huge living room, and a kitchen. The views are incredible. It is 10 minutes from town at the end of a dirt road that some taxis refuse to go. Click on a picture to enlarge.

Our dear friend, Bill "de la Luz" Pandolf has retired to Tlacolatalpan, Mexico, where he has a delightful guest house, Casa de la Luz. He is does consulting on lighting which is why he called "Bill of the Lights." He is also a spectacular photographer. And his village is a wonderful place to take photographs.
