When I traveled through Ecuador I saw stuff that I haven’t seen before. Lots of these pictures I have already posted within the stories. But some just don’t fit and I still want you to look at them. What amazed me was the religious devotion in this country. Europe is probably already too indifferent for this, but in Ecuador there is still a religious fervor that astonished and thrilled me. Just wait for the guy who walked around with baby Jesus. And he was not the only one!
A special thanks goes also out to my travel companion Sylvia who provided much-needed pictorial support! Here are some of my favorite pictures from Ecuador. Yours, Pollybert
