1623. The Low Countries (Netherlands) were at war whit Spain. Maurice of Nassau Prince of Orange, send toward the coast of peaceful ocean, Dutch corsairs, to attack the Spaniards in the New kingdom of Granada. In one of those ships was my ancestor, he survived the Spanish defense, and the corsair escaped to the jungle of tropical forest, at the present time Ecuador. Since that day until the year 1984 all of their descendants, lived barefoot, in the jungle, they only knew how to write their name.
Roque Antonio Loor, my father decide to leave the jungle to look for work. He arrived to a city called Ambato, in the mountain range of the Andes where I was born, I was lucky to have a good education. My father died defending my life in an assault, I was 19 and my father 45 years, in the same city as my ancestor 382 years ago attacked
