| | | the geniuses in the background get one look at the mini iLeader . . . | |
| | | . . . and completely ignore us :-) | |
|
| | mini trying to blend in on N. Michigan Ave. | |
| | | dissapointed at the lack of attention at the Apple Store, mini tries to climb the John Hancock building | |
| | | back at ho'ard's, it becomes apparent that mini-iLeader feels as strongly about the power of basil as ho'ard does | |
|
| | mini finally gets some attention from ho'ard's cichlids | |
| | |
| | finally, a real vacation for mini : on the plane to Quito, Ecuador | |
| | | hanging out on the Mariscol district of Quito | |
| | | a trip to "El Mitad Del Mundo", the elaborate tourist attraction that was proved to be a few hundred yards -off- the actual ecuator by modern technology | |
|
| | soaring over Quito (in miniature) | |
| | | snack time at the equator | |
| | | finding out the hard way that you are very close to the sun here | |
|
| | | on the exact point of the "real" equator, mini wins a certificate for balancing an egg on a nail | |
| | | on the way to "El Triunfo" near Baños de Santa Agua, mini rides in the cab while nursing his sunburn | |
|
| | view from bus between Quito and Baños | |
| | | checking out some of the volcanoes | |
| | | with ho'ard's friends at "La Casa Sol" hotel in Quito, where you can always expect the unexpected (charges) at checkout time :-) | |
|
| | Cabballero Juan Rivera poses with mini for a modest fee (Juan got a cut too) | |
| | | As Juan was happy to point out, we should have brought some water with us that day | |
| | | how contaminated can it be? | |
|
| | guess we'll know soon enough-mini spent the rest of the trip ..um.. indisposed | |
