Jodi in China

This picture shows the view from my porch at sunset. Directly across from my house is the city´s main catholic church, the Cathedral. Every morning a bellringer (obviously untrained in the art of bell-ringing, but he deserves an A++ for the pure energy he puts into his job) rings the cathedral bells for mass at 6:30 am, and makes sure I don´t sleep in. Behind that is the Sama Cordillera of the Eastern range of the Andes. The sun drops down behind these mountains every evening at about 6 pm, and there are some very pretty sunsets. Unfortunately this photo does not include smells, because a woman sets up her hamburger stand on the street directly below at this time every night. The smell of cooking hamburgers from this woman´s stand are the most delicious in the whole city. People crowd around her stand all evening, smelling and eating. The smells float up to my porch and are sometimes irresistible. Just ask Jane and Clayton.
