Creativity, humanitarianism and prosperity come in many forms, but all of them require three things, understanding, communications and inspiration. We just finished our latest Super Thinking Plus Spanish course in Mt. Dora, Florida.  Here are delegates intent on absorbing Spanish. Spanish is the second largest language in the world.

One great benefit in Ecuador is the wonderful, low cost… but efficient and caring labor. Success usually requires many forms of assistance. I was reminded of this when a reader asked this question.

Cotacachi real estate has a new positive bent. One benefit of Cotacachi real estate is the beauty of Mt. Cotacachi and Mt. Imbabura. Mt. Cotacachi towering above the village. This rich agricultural land provides the community well.  Yet their beauty contains a weakness as well.  The splendid views are wonderful as Ma and I know as we hike [...]

On the subject of Mariscal Sucre airport, this is one of the nicest emerging market airports Merri and I have ever used.
