About to board our flight to ATL. Adios Ecuador!

Last day in Ecuador :(

Andy ahora es caballero porque tiene las botas y el sombrero :)

Back in Quito at the lovely Villa Esperanza. Bus ride from Banos wasn't as stressful. I'm entranced by "Death in the Time of Cholera."

Made some friends today while rappelling down 30-meter waterfalls. Had a nice siesta and afternoon in town. Got me a sweet cowboy hat

Spent the evening soaking in the local hot mineral baths with about 300 of our closest friends...

Worst news of the trip...the brew pub is going to be closed until tomorrow at 3 :(.

Adventure Seekers+Geo Tours Ecuador+Canyoneering=Great!

Off to find an adventure. Rafting, mt biking or canyoneering?

We made it Banos! Currently drinking a micro-brew. I think we found Bend in Ecuador!

Adios Ali Shungu

Buenos dias! Today we're sad to leave our moutain lodge. It's sunny here and we perfect views of the volcanos all around. We'll have to come back here sometime.

The horseback ride yesterday was interesting. My horse, named Carolina, had a mind of her own. At one point, Andy and Jose Maria turned left while Carolina decided to go straight. I had no idea how to get her to turn around or stop. Luckily, Jose Maria realized that I was gone and came back for me. That was my first time on a horse!

We're headed to Banos today. Don Manuel Valenzuela is going to come and pick us up in his taxi and drive us to the bus station in Quito. From there we're going to take a bus to Banos. The whole trip will take us about 5 hours total.
