Ecuador - Day 38

Inside of Outside

Mtn. Biking Chimorazo, highest point from the center of the earth (due to equatorial bulge). Bkfst on the go. Bread and yoghurt. Guide = Mario. Canyon. Drive to 1st camp. Hike to 2nd. Can feel the thin air. Then bike almost 40 km almost completely downhill. Very scenic and beautiful w/ a Mtn in the background. Saw lots of vicuñas. Lunch at an old Inca ruins, and a natural mineral spring. Water tastes fizzy, straight out of the ground. Chased by dogs, lots of curves, very fun. Dinner, shower with electrical switch, bad movie, and bed.

Ecuador - Day 37

Inside of Outside

A day of relaxing. Couldn't sleep last night. So much noise. Also, just restless. Slept-in. Breakfast of Eggs w/Bread and then walked down to the Bike tour place. Signed up for a Bike Tour of Chimborazo. Got fitted for bikes, helmets, etc. Then went to a park and napped. Got cold, so went back to hotel and napped there. Bought some cheese + bread + snacks + H20 for tomorrow. Went out for sushi. Expensive but decent, except no wasabi or ginger. Spent the evening online, researching natural building methods.
