Running Race Last Weekend

         Central plaza in Azogues before 10 km race to nearby mountain village, San Miguel de Porotos.





Fany, Jenny’s sister-in-law, caught breaking into a nearby car






Patricia warming up before the race, waving to her fans.





Marco with his support vehicle following closely behind,









followed by Erich.






























Race finish area in San Miguel de Porotos:  Hans, Jenny’s brother Marco, his daughter Michelle, Annalise, daughter Karina, Patricia, Marco’s wife Fany.



In the feed line—best post-race food ever! BBQ pork, refried beans, rice, and chicha (fermented corn drink).  I finished the race right behind the lady in the purple skirt!





The following day at the Cuenca hot springs area, Banos.
