Day 1: Ecuador Highlands

Biked along old railroad bed.  Very easy terrain but I was gasping for air due to the high altitude.  The country side is beautiful.

Stopped for lunch at a farmhouse.  Traditional Ecuadorian meal.  And... fire water.  I have to bring a bottle of this home.

It started to rain so just the guide and I did the second ride of the day. The others went shopping.

Staying in a beautiful Hacienda in the highlands tonight.  Traditional Indian music (except for that Abba song) before dinner.

Very tired....
