Where I've been

Some of you have seen my post about losing 1/2 of my pictures on my recent trip. That was really hard to take. I'm still working on it. But I'd like to share some of my pictures with you.
We were in the Andes mountains of Ecuador doing medical missions. Each day we'd go to a different village, set up shop and see and treat everyone who came. Most days we treated about 250 people (which is, in some cases, the entire village). The scenery is beautiful. The people are gracious. The climate was yucky - cold and WET!

These are great. I did not see your post about losing half your photos but my heart instantly goes out to you. I have had similar things happen and it's like losing a chunk of your soul.

Thanks for sharing some great shots from your travels. Trips like that where you are making a difference in the lives of those in need are the best! Sorry to hear about the loss of so many of your pics.

Oh, you are so right. And the group I go with depends on me for pictures! I've never lost pictures before.

I am really sorry for your loss, I know how that feels. I once returned from vacation to find a crashed hard drive. Great pictures by the way.
