My Colombian guest rider Fernando in the Ecuadorian Amazon

Greetings from Cali, Colombia--Salsa dancing capital of the world! Listening to Salsa now and on my way to a live show and dance before riding north to Medellin, about 500km north. I just posted a newsletter that has the latest photos from the 3rd part of our Ecuadorian adventures and it can be found at www.peacepedalers.com/ecuador-nl.html. Check it out!

Life is good! Loving Colombia so far! Tons of cyclists (finally!), great people, music, food, nature...

Big Love!

Filming the band Solar up above Quito. Priceless!

We are loving Quito! We had to stop here to pick up spare parts, a replacement camera and other supplies and are grateful for the detour. We met this band Solar at a live performance and they put on a private concert for us and the viewers of our TV series yesterday. Today we spent 12 hours launching our latest charity project "Ecuatopia"--a grassroots team of Ecuadorians and lovers of Ecuador (like me!) who want to protect it from any more crazy mass destruction to the environment. Check out the first version of our site at www.ecuatopia.org.

Heading into the "caliente" Amazon jungle for about a week or so then into Colombia. Off to do some salsa dancing and take some time away from the computer!

Peace,

Jamie

The sunset after our 2nd surf session...lovely!

Just finished filming and enjoying some musicians here in NW Ecuador and we are finally leaving the coastal life and heading to Quito then the Amazon jungle. Life is good! Check latest pics of our life on the coast here:

The pictures tell it all...it's been more about friendships and "staying put" then pedaling away and past all the lovely people here in this stunning country of Ecuador. Will be putting on some miles in the Amazon to work off all this seafood!

Peace,

Jamie & Cristina
