Public busses
Hello, I am going on a two-week vacation this summer to Ecuador and I plan on traveling via pubic busses. The route I have to take is: Guayaquil to Cuenca Cuenca to Riobamba Riobamba to Quito Quito to Mindo Mindo to Canoa or Muisne Canoa or Muisne to Guayaquil From this, I need to find out which route is faster, via Cajas or Canar. I need to find out how much time I save returning to Guayaquil via Canoa instead of muisne. And I also want to find the earliest departure for each route (7am would be perfect) I am sorry if this is any trouble for you but I am having great difficulty finding the route I need and the prices.

antofa
another great blog. you're very lucky to have such well placed friends. you're really getting to see chile from a perspective most tourists never would. antofagasta used to be a very ugly and unattractive city (i was there in '99) but since then the government (both city and national) have made a great effort to improve the quality of life for its residents. i think the aridness of the area adds to the "ugly" factor b/c it makes everything look dusty or dirty. i just wanted to add a note about the library you went to in santiago. until i saw the pic, i wasn't sure what you meant when you described it as looking like a laboratory (i'm still not sure i get it), but this building dates from 1928 and only became a library in november of 2006. between those dates, it was a warehouse for the government. this might be why it almost resembles a prison from the outside. as a bit of trivia, its art-deco facade was declared a "national monument". good luck in bolivia. be sure to ask bolivians what they think of chile, hee hee.....cheers!
