- We are moving to Ecuador. Join us on our Expat life in Ecuador. We love nature photography and this channel will focus not just on our new lives in Ecuador but also on us capturing this amazingly diverse country. Are you thinking of maybe moving abroad? Are you ready to move out of your comfort zone? Well maybe its time to "Live the Life you Love"
Beautiful footage 😍 The hummingbirds would have had me giddy in excitement!
Thanks. The hummers were certainly special. A real high for the day.
Holy, it just gets better...😮 the hummingbirds seemed less competitive than the ruby throated ones here...and so may toucans! What a paradise!
Thanks for the love. Yes agreed on the hummers.
Oh, wonderful Ecuador/Mindo and, some lovely days off for you 🤗
Iove all the birds of all kinds and, like you Kris, I'Il want to try it all 😊
Thanks so much for sharing... 🌹🌹🌹
Thanks for watching as always.
The prehistoric looking bird and the yellow/black one were cool!
Birds are cooler than bikes lol. See ya around my friends.
@@KrisandMike Josh is in disbelief of your comment 😂
@@KrisandMikeI will grumble my response to that in person lol!
That looks like a blast! Something I wish I had done before returning. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Robin. Take care.
WOW! Very nicely done . Have parachuted and bungee. Thought zip lining would be boring and uncomfortable. That was fantastic ! Except for the part where I get stuck. And all the hummingbirds land an suck all the sugar out of me. haha.( I'm 98 % sugar ) Mike , I worked for an exterior tall building window cleaner in Minneapolis . 99 % of all injuries happen at the first two floors . Anything above that precautions are taken much more serious . Thanks for another great video .
Thanks 😊
Just to add Mindo is a bit of a cloud forest area... a wonderful place to visit. The zip line is strenuous, definitely wear good shoes! Be aware English is NOT widely spoken. I can not remember the little place we ate ate... great chicken/beef/sausage, six of us ate for $38. Some of the best food we ate while in EQ
Very true. Thanks for watching.
Fabulous video. You both look so happy and relaxed. Cheers! 😍
Thanks. Best decision of our lives.
Wonderful Trip!
Thanks very much.
That's it! The hummingbirds and you have gotten there in the first 10 seconds.
Lol thanks my friend 😀
@@KrisandMike One hummingbird gets my full attention, two hummingbirds excite me, three hummingbirds are sheer bliss. I can't imagine flocks of hummingbirds. Here I see male Ruby-throated and female Ruby-throated hummingbirds. That's it, There are 15 species of hummingbirds in the US, 5 of those have populations less than 5,000. There are 132 species of hummingbirds in Ecuador and 40 of those are in Mindo. The moral to the story is, I need to be in Ecuador and hope I can survive the thrill.
I had an excellent steak at the Argentinian restaurant for $16, including sangria 🍷
I’m acrophobic and I had to close my eyes when the ski lift chair ride as it stopped midway and we dangled in the wind 😬😂
Lol. The Argentinian was across the street. That's great 😃.
Esa iglesia es parecida a la de la película Coraline.
Interesante. Me encanta Mindo. Es una zona preciosa.
kris, you move the camera slow,,,, which is GOOD
Thanks 😊
What was the weight limit on the Zipline?
Nothing posted. Welcome to Ecuador.
Show the lodge😢
Sorry it's always a hard choice when cutting footage. Lots on their website tho. Check it out.
whats the population of Mindo?
About 3000 but grows with tourism.
@@KrisandMike makes sense. Way restaurants and cubs were lined up it looked like accomodating BUS loads.... The forestry was wonderful to see coming from 'Northwoods' Michigan
