We soooo lucked out when we arrived in Quito; somehow we blew right through customs without the blink of an eye, as if there was nothing in our four very heavy 70 lb. bags. It was amazing.
We arrived this morning around 7 a.m. after taking the all night bus from Banos to La Libertad. On the way up the hill to Ambato, our bus stopped so we could all witness the exploding volcano close by. We didn´t have a chance to grab the camera, but it was unbelievably dramatic just to watch as if we were on a tour bus.
When we arrived in Ambato, Alex and Daniela met us just to say hi and give us hugs. How very cool is that?! We were boarded by police in the middle of the night and did not catch much sleep. We spent most of the day washing our very dirty Sidewinder so that we could open her up without fiberglass dust going inside everywhere, and we also wanted to be able to sit out in the cockpit and have a cocktail to welcome ourselves to this very different reality. We are both extremely tired, and we will be sleeping as soon as the sun goes down. It was a beautiful day here and life is good. PHEW!!!
We will download pictures tomorrow and tell you about our day in Banos riding bikes and doing a bit of a hike. Onward to the next journey of mucho trabajo. Love to all, Suzi and David
