Market day again. My Actifit Diary: July 2 2026

El silencio luego de la derrota: ¡Adiós Tri!

Man vs. Tree My Actifit diary: July 1 2026

It's been quite the day! Started out with a little disappointment. Thought I'd be making cookies with Kami today, but she had forgotten to tell me that she had plans

‎Mexico Are Starting to Look Like Real Contenders ‎

‎I have to admit, Mexico really impressed me in this game. Before kick-off, I felt they had a good chance of winning, but I was not expecting such a comfortable

Football night? My Actifit Diary: June 30 2026

There’s a first for everything. I’m sitting here, in front of the laptop, with Word only being half of my screen – the other one is Disney+ aka ESPN, where an Ecuadorian

Out and about. My Actifit Diary: June 29 2026

Back on track with the diary! After being late a day for almost a week and even forgetting one day, here’s to being better organized. Going to the Intag Valley was

Solstice sets. (Favorite photos of last week)

Inti Raymi! Kind of the biggest party we have here in Ecuador. Especially in the regions that are mainly indigenous. While last year came with quite a bit of rain,

A good Sunday. My Actifit Diary: June 28 2026

Stellar day. Got up a little late, I admit, but went to the market and got almost everything I was looking for. And then I had the most productive morning. It’s

Zuelta. My Actifit Diary: June 27 2026

Yesterday was the big day for Into Raymi, the sun festival celebrated by the indigenous Kichwa, at the Hacienda Zuleta. We went last year with a nice group, and

Half productive. My Actifit Diary: June 25 2026

Considering that I went to bed very late on Thursday (or Friday morning, to be honest), it turned out to be a more or less productive day. I went to the gym for

Broke the streak. My Actifit Diary: June 25 2026

Totally forgot to post yesterday. And that although I had a great day with a nice walk and a high step count. Well. I went to bed too late yesterday. So this report

There and back again.

“What is the most boring thing you have ever done?” went through my head when I left the cabins and just started walking down the road, deeper into the Intag Valley.

Back to my safe haven. My Actifit Diary: June 23 2026

The feeling of finally being able to go on vacation, even a small one, is something different. Quite motivating. I got up early, fed the cat and went to the gym

Not as planned. My Actifit Diary: June 22 2026

I went to Ibarra early yesterday to bring in the last court order to the last public entity. Arrived on time, only waited 10min - but the system was gone. They told

Flower time. (Last week's favorite photos)

I'm glad that last week is over, and yesterday I expressed that with an awesome fire. Tomorrow I'll be going to my favorite spot, the Intag Valley, and although

Burning shadows away. My Actifit diary: June 21 2026

I'm pretty proud of myself, how I managed myself this weekend. With patience, self-control, yet openness to my feelings. And I didn't get drunk, though I did have

Still mixed days. My Actifit Diary: June 20 2026

I didn't move much yesterday. But I woke up in a fairly good mood and got some stuff done that needed doing. But when it was 5pm and my watch said 4k steps when

Not so happy birthday. My Actifit Diary: June 19 2026

I had feared that day for a while, and it was quite hurtful. First Bday in 5 years without my daughter. I tried to call her, but her mom blocked that. I sent voice

Turmoil. My Actifit Diary: June 18 2026

I did not go to Tang Soo Do class. Kami is deep up to her neck in school stuff, and I already had a great private lesson the day before. Instead, I wrote one of
