So i am in Cuenca, Ecuador now. have been taking Spanish lessons since last tuesday. I was liberated with a clean bill of health on Friday the 11th of August, and hopped immediately on a bus south.

Hey Tana, I always enjoy and look forward to your blog. I love to hear about your experences and the pictures are great, places I would never get to see other wise. Most of all, it was wonderful to hear you now have a clean bill of health. And hey, not all kids are holy terrors. How are you going to be the cool grandmother and sit around when you are old and tell these stories without grandkids?

Great Pics again
Tan, We heard about the volcano, but the name of the place was different than Banos and we assumed you were not near it. It was a good thing you didn't get stuck in that unfriendly place, though it does look pretty. The pictures of the train ride look very bleak and desolate, kind of like Afganistan pictures I've seen. I've been sending your blog to a lot of people, many of whom are very impressed. Your pictures are beautiful. Are you sending them somewhere safe? It would be horrible if you lost any of them. They would make a great coffee table book of SA. Take care. Love, Mom

So many memories
Hey Tana, its a shame you didn't enjoy Banos, it was one of my favourite places in Ecuador. The devils nose train ride was so scary, I remember freaking out a few times when I did it. Keep having a blast girl! - Rob xoxo

Tana, I am so enjoying reading of your travels and experiences in SA, and am thrilled to see the lovely photos, especially the scenery and the churches, inside and out. I am glad and relieved the health scare has been resolved happily. I look forward to your updates and also look forward to your next visit to Columbia--would love to visit with you and your parents and hear lots more about your travels.
