  • Get on the Bus, Gus Little did we know just how crazy our bus ride to Chugchilán was going to be. We found out later that the weather recently has been the worst they´ve had in decades, which meant the windy cliffs-edge dirt roads Posted by jtlande in J & J's South American Adventure | Mar 27, 2008
  • Saquisilí Market Our travels along the Quilotoa Loop began with a trip north of Latacunga to the town of Saquisilí to see the Thursday market. There we saw all sorts of things - local fruits and veggies, herbs, live animals for Posted by jtlande in J & J's South American Adventure | Mar 27, 2008
  • Somethin' Jumped up and Bit Me Tuesday could not have been a worse day for me. I came to school and locked horns with the registrar some more. I can't wait for the day they get their act together. But also, today was Posted by kearlkozby in 2581 Miles to the South | Mar 26, 2008
  • Wah-Wah in the Amazonian Jungle, Pt. 2 The first day in the jungle was an early start with breakfast that I could not eat. The lake reflected back a beautiful sunrise in a cloudless sky. I think one of the most unexpected parts about these Posted by kearlkozby in 2581 Miles to the South | Mar 20, 2008
  • Un mescle de cosas from the past few days! So... last weekend Rachel, her friend Juliet, and I took a bus ride to Papallacta to relax a bit in the thermal hot springs. Papallacta is a really tiny town a bit southeast of Quito on the same road we´ll Posted by KerriBerri in Kerri | Mar 26, 2008
  • The Hills of Baños We got up early this morning to go to the thermal baths (yes, again). It was VERY nice, and this time not very crowded at all. Basking in the hot mineral water watching the watefall cascade down above Posted by jtlande in J & J's South American Adventure | Mar 12, 2008
  • Semana Santa in Quito and Hari Krishna hamburgers I am stuck in the middle of a giant, day-long easter parade in old town Quito! All the streets are packed with people, like sardines in a can, and then there are thousands of citizens dressed in purple, ku klux klan-type Posted by KerriBerri in Kerri | Mar 21, 2008
  • The Black Sheep of Chugchilan For many weeks I had been planning to visit the Black Sheep Inn (BSI). This oft-mentioned hostel is on the backpackers' trail south of Cotopaxi, round the supremely beautiful Quilatoa loop. Posted by Eleniki in A year out | Mar 20, 2008
  • Cotopaxi Leaving the car alarms, honking horns and choking fumes behind, I left Quito in style. I met two charming americans, Jonathan and Mark, in my hotel and they invited me to travel with them for two days. They Posted by Eleniki in A year out | Jan 16, 2008
  • Vilcabamba and goodbye Ecuador ´There is no choice in what I must do, nothing is greater than to be with you´Mellow Doubt by Teenage Fanclub Hola all It has been ten days since last wrote so stand by for a quick update about our final days Posted by murray2701 in murray and lynn`s adventures | Mar 16, 2008
  • Dinner at Cecilia´s Last night, we ate rice, shredded carrots, and a mixture of broccoli and tuna from a can. I hate tuna. It doesn´t get any better than this. What kind of dinner is that? On a happier note, Rachel and I are Posted by KerriBerri in Kerri | Mar 19, 2008
  • Otavalo Today is no good. I already managed to lose my sunglasses after wearing them for just about a half hour, I am sunburned from Otavalo, and my stupid credit card company put a block on my card even though I Posted by KerriBerri in Kerri | Mar 17, 2008
  • Banos, Land of Adventure (Part 2) When we last saw our intrepid heroes, they had hitched a ride to Banos, only to discover that an unplanned detour was about to take place... Imagine that deep TV narrator voice when you read the sentence above. Right. Posted by jtlande in J & J's South American Adventure | Mar 12, 2008
  • Banos, Land of Adventure (Part 1) We spent three days in Banos, a great little town that´s about 4 hours (by bus) south of Quito, and which is nestled between several steep mountains. It´s also only 8km from Volcan Tungurahua, which a couple of months Posted by jtlande in J & J's South American Adventure | Mar 12, 2008
  • The past few days... y manana vamos a Otavalo I´ve been sick during the past few days with a 102 degree fever so I haven´t done as much lately before and after Spanish classes. I was pretty upset the other day because I´d been sick, but since our house Posted by KerriBerri in Kerri | Mar 14, 2008
  • Wah-Wah in the Amazonian Jungle, Pt. 1 The Amazon Jungle couldn't have seemed more vast than the way we traveled to and through it. Travel, though, was really only I could ask for and more. I felt tested at every step of the way, battling Posted by kearlkozby in 2581 Miles to the South | Mar 8, 2008
  • Time flies when you´re having fun.. It´s been a little while since I last updated... 2 weeks ago I went to Riobamba to ride the train down the Nariz del Diablo which is basically just a stretch of track that winds down the mountains, unfortunately riding on Posted by darcook in Darcie's in Ecuador | Mar 13, 2008
  • Ecuador Before we set off on our Galapagos trip we spent a couple of days in Quito. I was pleasantly surprised by Quito. I had read the streets were unsafe at night and there was much petty crime during the day, Posted by paulandjes in Paul and Jess Go Global | Mar 12, 2008
  • Un poco mas de Quito So the canary who was nameless died yesterday. Boohoo. At least we still have Mozart and his friends to serenade us as we dine. Rachel and I planned to go visit the old town, el centro historico, the other day, but Posted by KerriBerri in Kerri | Mar 10, 2008
  • Things we saw on the bus ride from Quito to Banos... * Someone dressed in a really worn out Barney (you know, the purple dinosaur) costume trying to draw passing buses and pedestrians into an ice cream shop. * Another macho-man movie on the bus! This time it was ´Black Dog´starring Patrick S Posted by jtlande in J & J's South American Adventure | Mar 9, 2008

  • Bats in the Belfry We spent today wandering through Old Town in Quito. Oddly, it seems that every other store is either a party store selling pinatas, or is a shoe store. It´s as if Carmen Miranda and Imelda Marcos collaborated to Posted by jtlande in J & J's South American Adventure | Mar 5, 2008
  • Tu hables Espanol? My Brain Hurts. Okay - I will admit that Spanish is much easier than I thought it would be. But you must... speak.......very.........slowly. The blank stare I display when a local has spoken to me is slowly being replaced with basic Posted by joannacez in J & J's South American Adventure | Mar 4, 2008
  • Donde es la clase? Lost in Quito... We made it back from the Galapagos Islands--tan, tired and a little fatter for all the buffet food we ate on the Coral II. Now it is time to get down to business of learning the local tongue. After a Posted by joannacez in J & J's South American Adventure | Mar 3, 2008
