Worth a thousand words

Just a short post with some photos.

I do a lot of baking in my new apartment. In part because I have so much free time and in part because a lot of delicious things that are easy to buy in the states like bagels or wheat bread are harder to find here. This is from the day I made cinnamon rolls for a river picnic.

Ecuadorians are in absolute awe of baked goods. Even something as simple as chocolate chip cookies amazes them and I've found that giving out baked goods to my neighbors and coworkers is a good way to be instantly liked.


My apartment has a small gap between one of the walls and the ceiling. It's nothing too noticeable and isn't really big enough for any creatures to get in except for moths. Every night dozens of moths flock to the glow of my living room light bulb. Usually I squish them without mercy but this one landed on my fridge and was so pretty I decided to spare it's life and take a photo instead.
A bird's eye view of my town.
