We rec'd a lot of feedback on team Looney's recent summit of Gros Piton. Turns out they've traveled to every continent and more than 25% of the countries in the world. So we've decided to have them share something small they've learned in each country when the mood strikes. We're going to call it "A Looney View". Here's Looney View #2 - This time last year we traveled to a friend¹s wedding in Cuenca, Ecuador. They were married in a beautiful mountain retreat about 9,000 feet above sea level. The bride and groom and all the people at the wedding were equally breathtaking. They taught us that black tea helps acclimate to the elevation. That and buckets of whiskey. After the wedding, we hit several Galapagos islands via small boats. We were amazed that the wildlife really had no fear of man. You could get very close to grand tortugas, blue-footed boobies and my kids swam with seals. The government has done an excellent job protecting this natural treasure. So has the marketing team-from what I can tell they really haven¹t properly crystallized the allure of this beautiful country yet. Normally, I¹d want to pitch a brand that¹s falling short, but I hope this wonderful place stays a secret for our return visit.
