Yet each is a part of the varied and beautiful land that is Ecuador.

Chain of Events

It wasn’t a planned passing of the torch from one generation to the next. Far from it. In fact, at one time, Suzanne Leigh-Vilas saw herself standing in front of a classroom instructing and inspiring students.

Danger and Discovery
