ABC Wednesday—M is for "moss"

Here's another shot from the Hacienda Cusin, in
San Pablo del Lago, Ecuador—which I've shown here
and here. Like all gardens, theirs are a work in progress,
but look like they've been here as is for centuries.

letter M, visit the ABC Wednesday meme.]

ABC Wednesday—C is for "cabbage"

You can't tell here, but this cabbage
was enormous. It was growing in the
beautiful (and abundant) kitchen gardens 
of the Hacienda Cusin, my new favorite hotel
 in the world, in San Pablo del Lago, Ecuador.

Laundry Day

What's more sleep-inducing than slipping
between crisp cotton sheets that have been
freshly laundered and dried in clear mountain air?
(Well, the roaring fire and the bottle of wine
probably didn't hurt either.)  This is Hacienda Cusin,
in San Pablo del Lago, Ecuador (alt. 8,500 feet).

ABC Wednesday—R is for "right of way"

In New York, we all look out for anything that
moves on wheels (truck, taxi, pedicab, messenger on a bike,
kid on a skateboard, whatever).  Here in San Pablo del Lago,
in Ecuador, everyone stops and waits for these
black-and-white bovines—as it should be, seems to me.
