transplantella..
yes, i have books on Ecuador…
and you are welcome to borrow them
i won’t be using them this year
as for what to wear…
what i learned while researching was that i needed a good pair of flat closed toe shoes…
and that dressing in layers is as important there as here.. the nights do get cool
my intention was to pack neutral basics and buy color and accessories there… where it is irresistible..
and.. that to avoid becoming a target for thieves on public transit, it is a very good idea to pack really light in a backpack that looks like it has been around.
the biggest thing i learned from my recent trip to Munich and Venice is that a big square light scarf in a good fabric really is a woman’s best friend… it served as a warming layer .. both on my neck and my shoulders, a cooling device when dampened and a headscarf for churches … while making me fit fashionably in with the locals…
email me at joanne at brayden dot org and we can arrange a meeting so you can get those books..
in exchange, i get to pick your brain when you get back
Ecuador is still in my dreams
