This blog will not be published regularly over the next two weeks. After checking on the health of my Dad, we have decided to return to the US for a two week period. The blog is posted from Quito this evening. Friday, we will fly from Quito at 6:00 A.M. to Miami to St. Louis and then arrive in Des Moines at 7:45. We are currently scheduled to return to Quito on November 6.
Traveling from Puyo to Quito by bus in a "different" experience. The trip takes five hours on an express bus. The bus was ultra-modern and very clean. The first two hours require negotiating some very rugged mountain country. The views are exceptional (except those straight down off the shoulder of the road without railings.) The one section near the town of Banos is still rough, dusty and challenging. The volcanic deposits still cause a dust that covers everything. The highway is buried quite deeply in places from the volcanic flow.
The entire five hour trip costs $5 per person. One of the best travel bargins we have seen! Oh yes, the 25 minute taxi ride from the bus terminal to the guest house through down town Quito was another $5.
