That’s My Dad – Father’s Day Edition

As Father’s Day approaches, there’s so much I could say but I’m going to let these photos do most of the talking for now. Here are some of my favorite photos of my adventures with my Dear Dad in his beloved Ecuador. The mountains and the river (that’s Ecuador’s Amazon River in the bottom right pic) are spectacular, but what I love most are the smiles on our faces and the precious memories I’ll always cherish. Oh the joy we’ll have when we meet again in Heaven one day!

Here’s one more pic for now.

That moment you’re walking along a packed parade route in Ecuador and your Dad is suddenly stopped by reporters for an impromptu interview? My Dad didn’t flinch or stutter. He basked in it. I had seen him quoted in stories in the Spanish press over the years, but this was the moment I realized just how recognized my Dad was in Ecuador. This was during my visit in 2003 and while he normally formally participated in this annual grand parade in his hometown, this time he was staying low key and delighting in showing me around. The reporters still found him. Being spotted among crowds to be interviewed in your hometown…. yup, THAT’S MY DAD
