Still determined to drop a word or 12 on my most recent travel adventure (Bogotá and Cartagena, Colombia) sometime within this century. But meanwhile It seems I ve likewise neglected to add to the WOW Worthy corner of TL that I initially launched waaay back in 2013 (categorized right up there ↑ under the TL pull-down Potluck [ hellip You're reading The Good List originally posted on TravelnLass…
O.k., o.k. it s been a (goodly long) while. Quite the (nearly 3 month, gasp!) hiatus since I managed to pop in here w/ a bit of TL blather. Agreed. I am nothing but a wretchedly unreliable Blatherer these days. And it isn t as if I have nothing to say.

Already into the first week of a new year and much to catch up on here amid the halls of TL.

Never a dull even when you ve lived in a foreign country more than a decade. Still adoring my adopted home here in Cuenca, Ecuador (especially my sweet digs overlooking the gurgling Rio Tomebamba).

An absolute FIRST for the TravelnLass. Seriously. How many airplane tickets have I booked in my life? Surely HUNDREDS! It s pretty much the first thing I do once I decide what corner of the globe I ll head to next.

I always admire a bit of entrepreneurial ingenuity among the locals in my beloved adopted home here in Cuenca, Ecuador. And street food has long been my personal jam You're reading Just the Juice a Cuenca Street Food Tale originally posted on TravelnLass and copyrighted by Dyanne Kruger.
Given that I m pushing *50* years of traveling DIY solo And furthermore, most every trip has been carry-on only be it 10 days in the Portuguese Azores Islands, or 43 days through 8 different countries in the Balkans.

S been awhile since I pecked a post on what-all social doings I ve been enjoying here in my (still beloved!) Cuenca, Ecuador. Oh, there s BOATLOADS of social events going on near-DAILY here: musical events galore, art exhibits, gringo theater, bridge clubs, craft classes, et al.
