Where did I come from?

"Daddy, where did I come from?" the seven-year-old asked. It was a moment for which her parents had carefully prepared.

They took her into the living room, got out the encyclopedia and several other books, and explained all they thought she should know about sexual attraction, affection, love, and reproductions. Then they both sat back and smiled contentedly.

"Does that answer your question?" her father asked.

"Not really," the little girl said. "My friend said she came from Detroit. I want to know where I came from."

		Okay, so now that I have got this joke is out of my system, I can get down to the SERIOUS business of talking about me. (I am, of course, assuming that you do want to know something about me. If you don't then just skip to the pages that interest you and forget about the rest of this page!) Hummm, let me see. So, after finishing my graduate studies in the Iowa State University I was working as a research assistant for my professor when I met this gorgeous girl from Ecuador aiming for her own post-grad degree. I fell head over heels for her and, when she moved back to her country in 1992, I simply packed my bags and followed her to her home. The next year Anita and I got married and now we have two lovely kids - Leena Marie, who will be six this September, and Paúl Sebastián, who is three-and-a-half now. During the course of last several years my family and I have had the opportunity to visit many countries in South and Central America. If you want to see trip photos you can click here.
