A post from a couple of Travelers – January 2016

Dear Friends,
Every once in a while, a message arrives in the (e)mail that makes your day!
Here is one that came to me this morning!
It was a great trip.

To Ramelle & Michael

20160125 We really didn’t know what to expect with your Art Tour to Ecuador… actually apprehensive about South America travel, yet we took the leap based on knowing you folks. So how did it go?

Now back less than a week, we agree it was pretty amazing. Up in our few Trips of a Lifetime caliber.

We were on a spiritual high so much of the time, with all of the breathtaking beauty of the Andes … the intimate immersion in local traditions and cultures … meetings with remarkable artisans that felt personal, not staged or voyeuristic.

Each place we stayed was comfortable, and distinctive, again with a personal touch, from Peter in the Cloud Forest to Caesar in Hacienda Cusin, with its 1602 foundation to many gorgeous gardens. The pacing was good, always up to us really. The yoga sessions with Michael added to the spiritual wonderfulness and ease of the trip. Plus Monica got a half dozen one-one-one Spanish lessons, amidst the language immersion.

Great travel companions, too.

We see you’re going to offer this trip in the coming year. We highly recommend the Art Tour to Ecuador, and we’re certainly open to other New View excursions, so keep us informed.

With thanks and best wishes, Dan & Monica Shaw
