The No Flower Show

Sunday February 8

Richard came over about 9.45am to pick us up. He was with Chad and his black Columbian girlfriend who is pregnant. Chad has been living in Ecuador for a couple of years and has a flat in Quito and 200 hectares of land on the coast in Esmeraldas.

We chatted for awhile before we left.

We went to a place called the Crystal Palace in old Quito which is on top of a hill and has a beautiful view of the city. When we got there we saw a long line to get in. One foreigner said that the line is about half a mile long!!

When we found that out we decided not to see the orchards. Not only would there be a long line to get in but there would be a long line as we move like sardines viewing the orchards. So we went to a restaurant that they had there and had something to drink.

Later we went to a Mexican restaurant to have lunch. Then we went to Richard’s home in Quito.

Richard told me that he got an email from his lawyer to say that she is not going to represent him anymore and is quitting. He thought she had nerve to do this as it was her that was not doing work that she should have done. He said that since November of last year he asked her to do 5 things – none of which she had done. I guess she got pissed that he cancelled out buying the hotel in Quito.

Jayne and I had a nice day.
