What can I say Its gorgeous just like the rest of this country. Our Myself Huns Mike overnight bus ride from Quito to the coast was quite an experience. After setting off in a rainstorm we crawled at 30kmhr through dense fog down 3000m of tiny roads... Occasionally passing ditched busses and trucks some on the side of the road others lying further down in gorges http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Ecuador/West/Montanita/blog-40084.html The first week has been amazing... Its a thousand times more beautiful than I imagined it would be. Im in the capital now Quito which lies in a valley with 5000m high mountains and volcanoes surrounding it. The city is filled with amazing parks churches and plazas. Its so easy to just spend the days wandering this place. The weather is a perpetually spring like climate always 20c and sunny http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Ecuador/North/Quito/blog-39177.html Hey everybodyFirst of all thanks for taking a look I know itrsquos been a long time almost an eternity since Irsquove spoken to some of you.A lot of you I emailed about this blog I've been less than consistent about keeping in touch with the last couple of years so nowrsquos your chance to take a looksee at what Irsquove been up toWell Irsquom still in Toronto but spent my summ http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Ontario/Toronto/blog-35397.html
