I was in cali for three weeks and met some great gals ,and developed a serious relationship with one of the calenas, but I don't think we can be a permenant couple do to her irratating brat child who likes to slap me when i kiss her mom.NIce gal but not enough spiritual chemistry to consider her for marriage.Well original my backup plan was actually going to ecuador to meet a wonderful women i meet on match.com (international) ,but I ended up going to cali to get it out of my system.
Well onwards onto Ecuador I meet my the women of my dreams (she actually exceeded my criteria for a wife). What a pleasant trip I had with my soon to be wife. At the airport I did not know what to expect(maybe it was a setup for a kidnapping thoughts raced through my mind).Well i did'nt have any resources like in cali to hold my hand.Ahh..!,it
was all true ,there she was holding my name in her hand on poster board with gleaming smile ,tall (as tall as me 6feet),white complexion ,sultry long brown hair ,and elegantly just gorgeous.Wow! I could already sense the chemistry between us as she wisked me away to her parents house (where I stayed the first day).
Her father (an economics professor) gave me the spanish inquisition, and long never ending talk about everthing he could think of (all i could think is what a wonderful family albeit educated).The next seven days we headed out for the manabi region (pacific coast side of ec) through the lush/majestic cloud forest mountains of pachincha with the whole family (only 1 sister ,abuelo and parents).
NOw it's not what I had in mind for a nice romantic vacation with M . ,but nevertheless it's a good way to break the ice ,make a good impression,and learn about the family upbringing of M. .There we were just "friends" ,but as we walked the romantic secluded beach of canoa (near bahia caraquez) I made the move a told her what motivated me to come to see her ,and waited for her signal.Well she was in a contemplative mood ,and so I did'nt push things to occur unnaturally.Well things turned around when we got to quito at the mariscal district's famous "No BAR" ,and we were able to relax,and dance the night away without her parents lurking over her shoulder.There the magic that we felt came to light as we spontaneously kissed while dancing on a monday night ,and now it was obvious our relationship was sailing a different course.The next day we headed out for the magnificent mountain highlands of ecuador (quilotoa) ,and stayed at the blacksheep inn hostal (great picturesque place in the montains of chigchulan).While getting there the taxi/pichup driver entertained us with his eyepoping tales of massacres and mayhem while he worked for a guerilla group transporting coca leaf to cocaine labs.He said cocaine in the colombian jungle was everywhere like sacks of potatoes in rural towns piled up next to the fab labs (as you can already imagine).Well exhuasted from the altitude and the very rugged terrain , trough a neverending twist-n-turns of the mountains we just colapsed when we got to our private cabin.The next day we went horseback riding to the cloud forest (a seven hour + journey round trip) with a local indian guide.Boy I just could do this forever (i thought) I loved breathing fresh air ,the cool climate,and the breathtaking mountains (sort of like the grand cayon but super green X 5). After reaching our destination we took awesome pictures, and enjoyed a mini-picnic while the horses ate the exotic weeds. THe cloud forest there sort of resembles a dense jungle with a super thick london fog ,without the man eating
jaguars ,just twirpy birds serenading us as we happily hiked trough .Not much in the way of intense stimulating conversation can take place while your bounced up and down on a horse trough paths that would make indiana jones jealous.BUt as we winded down in the evening and ate all-you-can-eat vegatarian food we were ready for something more romantic.Next I fire-up the fireplace,light the candles,uncork the chilean cabernet and slowy but surely I let her know what i really think of her,(the feeling was mutual) now i know nothing is going to happen because its too soon (in our relationship)but we have to start somewhere.
For now hugs/kissing and cuddling will have to suffice.After having long talks in manabi with this gal I know I like her personality alot, and I was ready to take it to the next level.
Well everbody is different,but I been in relationships long enough to realize chemistry-wise that when I have found "her" lets not waste time charlie.BY the fith day there we were aready commited to a serious relationship,talked about marriage , what we want out of life ,and everything just seemed in harmonious synchrony with M. attitude ,feelings and goals for life.BY the time we got to quito I was already in falling in love ,just everything about her drove me crazy in a good way (not just where your thinking). After our week trip to quilotoa we headed for otovalo.We originally planned a jungle excursion, but we fell into a what seemed a booby-trapped hole down a steep mountain path where we had to get off our horses due
to the slippery sand.Down we go as we held hands 10 feet deep,it happened so fast as i stepped on what seemed grass (but was actually a a hallow entrance to hole),I fell just perfect or i would not be writing this ,but she slammed my knee with her head.She was basically okay just bruised up pretty bad ,but i was limping.I was just thankful I was'nt any worse than we got hit with. BUt the trip to laguna quilotoa was worth the beating on the horses and the hole.Well in otovalo realising that I truly love her even if i don't know her that well,but she has a good heart and all the qualities i look for.I proposed to her at puertolago restaurant overlooking the wonderful san pablo laguna in the background a picturesque mountain to dress the view. Well she said yes and now we are making future plans.Oppurtunity only knocks once in life ,if it feels right deep down inside then why not give it chance i reasoned.We spent tree solid weeks together , and I know its a little crazy but I feel great pulling the trigger.M is a bright gorgeous gal with masters in intl. relations ,and works as a commercial loan officer ,27 year young,never married,and never even had a serious boyfriend,too busy with studies and work,( i guess God saved her for me ).She is coming here on her tourist visa in december, and dont know yet if we will get married here ,or in ecuador .Even though she gets married here on her tourist visa she is heading back when her k3 is ready (if an immigration attorney blesses this course of action thats the route i'll take).Otherwise back to ecuador for 1 week in january and a super-fast mini-honey moon to be continued in august (hopefully).
