Nostalgia

Its funny how something so small can trigger so many emotions.
For those who dont know i lived in ecuador for six months from jan 06 till july 06, this is nearly two years ago and it hit me how quickly i have forgotten so many of the fantastic memories i have of that place.
I lost more or less all my photos of ecuador when my computer crashed last year and at the time i was real annoyed but i figured im not overly sentimental and thought it wouldnt be such a big deal. However as we've started uncluttering our house in anticipation of moving i came across a cd called ecuador 06. So i stuffed it into my laptop and realised it was all my dad's photos that he took when him and mum came to visit.

The simple act of looking at a few photos brought back so much nostalgia for me, so i thought id just post a few photos up and let you guys see how beautiful a country ecuador is.


Il put some more on my flicker.

Also want to leave you all with a question:

What is it that makes northern ireland home when the world is waiting to be discovered?

Think Micah kinda just gave a version of the answer to that question simultaneously!

I reckon no matter where you go, home is the place where you were for long enough to be able to remember what every single piece of furniture smells like.

Waterfall picture is stunning.

I know the feeling. I have been thinking recently about doing a blog on my 2 month trip to Africa 2years ago after re-visiting the unbelievable photos. However, I'd be just as keen to write about my latest fishing experience off of Newcastle beach :) That's Northern Ireland John...its amazing and we take it for granted. there are millions of people who would love to live here or even just visit...I guess it's true, the grass is always greener... That's human nature in it's most ungratelfulness.
