I have an appointment today. Around noon I will be in Cuenca meeting with Maria.

I have had quite a few requests to explain what a “Facilitator” is, and why anyone would want or need one. It has taken 2 weeks for our schedules to work out, but today is the day. Maria will be assisting me in some shots, and then do an interview.

Maria helped me over the course of a year and during that time we have become friends. She helped me in some visa difficulties. She was there when I had to cross the border to Peru and stay over in a smelly nasty little town, waiting to have documents officialized. She has handed money for me. She taught me how to use banks, showed me where things were, and advised the best places to do this and that. She even arraigned for a repairman to come and fix my refrigerator. She has argued with various vendors to make sure I got the best deals. In short, she has been my lifesaver. Far more than someone to help with paperwork.

So today we will meet up, have some lunch and visit various locations so I can film her. My idea is to present her at various businesses and office location so viewers can appreciate the scope of possibilities.

So that’s my plan for the day. Tomorrow is a whole new plan with a meeting from a newcomer to Cuenca… from Colombia.

See you then!
