(Editor's Noie: Roger Woods,
son of Mr. ana Mrs. Glen Woods
P_.m_r n_3 ^ee.i ^ending in
ieri.oi.ing, informative letters to
.us parents pertaining to his visit
ai Ecuador as an International
Farm Youth Exchange delegate.
From time to time, parts of these
.ef:eis will he printed in The
r rcmiersman through the cour
tesy of Mr. and Mrs. Woods. Fol
lowing is the third installment.
The people here don’t under
stand our climatic seasons. They
have only two — tHe wet and
the dry. The wet one is “invierno”
—winter, and the dry “verno”
—summer. Or maybe I’ve got that
backwards. At least, they plant
in the dry season. (Most crops
here take from 8 to 15 months
to mature. Bananas take 15, ca
cao takes 8 or 9, etc.) (More
about crops later). I told them
we in Alaska planted in the sea
son when it rained and they
thought I meant winter. Took
some time explaining!
I understand that the sun
shines quite a lot during the rainy
season. It clouds up and rains
like mad all of a sudden. They
have 101 inches here so far this
year and it hasn’t rained since
I’ve been here. They don’t expect
any more this year. They had
36 inches during the month of
March. That’s a lot of rain in
anybody’s country!
The Ecuadorians who might be
considered “middle-class” are
interested in how much things
cost in North America. They ask
about cameras, cars. etc. It’s a bit
hard to explain to them that all
North American are not wealthy,
after having answered their ques
tions about the number of cars
in the States, etc. Most of them
don’t even have a burro.
The Ecuadorian flag has three
horizontal strips. The top one of
yellow, the middle one of blue,
and the bottom one of red. These
colors signify the sky in brilliant
sunshine, the sea, and the blood
of the free people, respectively.
I attended a meeting of a 4-H
club in Portoviejo. They are just
now being started in Ecuador,
This was their first or second
meeting. There were eight boys
about 17 years old. They made me
an honorary member and asked
me to tell them about the clubs
in the States which I did to the
best of my limited ability.
Guess that catches me up to
night, so . . . Buenos noches, y
hasta luego.
June 29
Things are becoming quite com
mon-place here now. Everything
looks natural instead of new, but
that doesn’t make it boring. I’m
learning more all the time. And
having fun.
Among other traits, these peo
ple are very considerate. For in
stance, the first night at ’Santa
Ana they gave me a chamber—
pot to set beside my bed so I
wouldn’t have to go across the
hall in case of necessity.
Incidentally, you haven’t lived
if you’ve never heard an Ecua
dorian burro bray in the middle
of the night! Talk of exploding
the peace and quiet, wow!

At Miiagro we visited the new
agricultural branch of the U. of
G. It is to be opened up next
week. We “gringos” tasted for the
first time papayas and the famous
"finger-bananas.” Here the small
finger bananas are called “guine
os do oro,” and they are very
good. Can’t say the papayas are
though. Pepe-Lucha bought four
pineapple (for about 12 cents a
piece), of which we had three as
, dessert at lunch time. He intend
ed to take the other to his mother
in Guayaquil. The people here
love jokes, consequently, when
we were sitting in a little open
front sidewalk cafe drinking beer
or coke in the early afternoon,
. papa-Chola sneaked the remain
, ing pineapple. The bartender cut
it up and did a good job of serv
ing it. to the great surprise of
! Pepe. Pepe bought four more to

the afternoon. We n,l d nr. nv

The next day I left Guayaquil
and flew north to Portoviejo, in
the orovince of Manabi. The liter
al translation of Portoviejo is
“Old Port.” Seems strange to
have such a name, because it is
several miles from the sea, and
it is not located on a river! But
therein lies a story! Seems that
several hundred hundred years
ago, Portoviejo was a town on
the seacoast. Probably a pretty
town at peace with the world.
But then the infamous pirate,
Morgan, came and anchored in
the harbor. He pillaged the town
and burned it. The people moved
inland a ways, and a few years
later the town was destroyed
again. Once more the citizens
moved, fifteen miles inland to
the present location, still retain
ing the name of their city. Now
it is a pretty town, at peace with
the world.
