Our three-week adventure in Ecuador has come to an end with a fairly uneventful return to the USA. I was able to get one last shot of the Andes on our climb out of Quito and some nice shots of Panama City and ships queuing up for the Panama Canal as we landed there for our connecting flight to Boston.

Maya has been a terrific traveling partner and I will never forget this time spent with her, our first true father-daughter travel adventure. On a completely different level this trip has afforded me an opportunity to really see and understand the land of my mother’s birth and to better connect with my own heritage.
