having navigated our way out of quito and onto one of the many many many crazy buses in ecaudor, arrived in latacunga which is in the highlands of ecuador.
the actual town itself is pretty non-descript. but the surrounds, including volcano cotopaxi are pretty breathtaking. AND I did have what would have to have been one of the best meals iīve had in south america there........kel and i just wondered into this friendly looking place for a beer or 2 and on the menu they had vegie burritos!!!!!! so good i even ate the guacamoli!
went on a guided walk to cotopaxi but too many clouds and a lot of rain so couldnīt see the volcano. and went to the saquisili markets.....which were so good that i actually bought stuff (which iīm now lugging around with me).....gradually getting the art of bargaining too.
and after ecuador lost the football we thought it was time to move on...........
