Chugchilán is a typical village in the Ecuadorian Andes, a lot goes on, but nothing happens. All the men wear gumboots and all the women wear colourful shawls. There are plenty of cute, grubby faced kids and almost as many animals in town, as people. There is a town square, lined by a church, and a volleyball court. Sunday is market day. The rest of the week the atmospheric comings and goings of clouds comprise the majority of local traffic.

27 abril, martes


Visibility 20 meters, that’s not a dive report, it’s the conditions on the volleyball court in Chugchilán, today. Twenty meters is longer than a volleyball court so play was not affected. And although it was cold the older men were still out on their bench playing cards.

I have noticed the older men tend to play more rummy and the younger guys Ecuacvolley. Those on the cusp of being in the old man camp but still energetic and able, play both.
