Hammock Time on Puerto Lopez Beach #AtoZChallenge
Even a broken hammock is correct twice a day. Wait, that’s not right…
Relaxation Recipe
- Bring book
- Buy fruity drink
- Find hammock
- Enjoy sea breezes and waving palms
A Note on Theme Changes
Before the A to Z Challenge began, I loved the idea of sharing one Puerto Lopez photo per day and writing a 26-word description. I placed both restrictions on myself. Now that I have used this theme for a week, I sometimes want to use a few more words. This paragraph alone has 55 words.
Also, I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to decide on just one photo.
Announcing AtoZ Challenge theme changes!
- Beginning today, more than one photo is allowed. No large photo galleries but there might be a few photos.
- For letters I-Z, posts will have 26 to 200 words.

My goal is to share Ecuador with you, one snippet at a time. Topics include attractions, compassion, ecotourism, Ecuador products, everyday Ecuador, and flora and fauna.

I will set aside a little more time each day with which to enjoy your posts. Now, where's that hammock?

LOL – all hammock time is good time, whether it's right or not. And thumbs up for your rule changes – the more the merrier.
Emily Bloomquist
Thank you Deborah!

Rules are meant to be broken–especially when we place them on ourselves. I look forward to more photos and words.

An experiment that proved changes were necessary. That means you're enjoying what you're doing, and that's what's important!

Hilary Melton-Butcher
Hi Emily – my brother in England has a hammock … which is fine – but the dog usually pesters for some game time!! I think I might be coming down the coast for a hammock visit – but see a few others in front of me in the line!! Wonderful to think about though as it's bucketing that wet stuff here … cheers Hilary
Emily Bloomquist
Come on down, Hilary! There are dogs here but they usually lay quietly next to the hammock until another dog comes by to play. Hope it has stopped bucketing and you are drying out by now! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
April Hoeller
Ahh, a hammock! There is no better rest for me after a day working in the yard than a lie down in my hammock. Thanks for reminding me of this.
Emily Bloomquist
Hammocks are such a great place to relax, April. How nice that you have one at home! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
