We left Baños this morning. The town was a bit too touristy, but beautiful landscape as all of Ecuador. We did a bit of hiking there, soaked in the thermal baths which turned out to be public pools with crowds even at 6 am, then went out on the town to sing Cranberries and Eagles songs at a karaoke bar for Andy´s birthday last night. Karaoke is big here, and people seem to have an ecclectic taste for American hits.
Today we left for Latacunga, a market town. We are staying in a hostal for $3 per person tonight (no windows), then leaving in the mañana for the Quilotoa loop. Many reviews claim this to be the best trip in Ecuador. The trip consists of getting really confused trying to find different buses that run at irregular hours like 3 am to tiny mountain towns in order to see a beautiful lake at the top of a volcano. So far we have had very good luck with buses, and we hope this continues. If not, we get a little lost and that´s fine. We will probably be out of contact for the next 4 days. We´ll let you know how it goes.
Love,
Lauren

1. I cannot believe I missed Karaoke!
ReplyDelete2. American pop music has crappy bridges and choruses (plural?) that attract that of the foreign singer.
3. In America, a room w/out a window does not a room make, hence your $3/night hostel.
