We left Shell yesterday a little after 7 am, and stopped in Salasaca to go to the market. Shopping and bartering was a lot of fun, but I (Sam) spent a bit too ,much money on souveniers. Why do I have so many cousins? Wilson, surprisingly, is all shopped out, and I'm sure the Ecudorians have received a great boost in their economy with his contributions.
We got to Quito a little after lunch, had an amazing almuerzo (the standard quick-to-arrive lunch in Ecuador), and went to the middle of the earth! There were two equators, hard to believe. One was the historical on that was calculated by 18th century scientists, and the 'real' one with GPS. STanding on the equator, we all got to be in two places at the same time.
Well, it's breakfast time, and I am really hungry...see you all in two days! Yeah! Love to you all, and thanks for praying.
Sam

Ecuador is really an amazing country. Traveling in and around the highlands and lowlands of Ecuador, you will particularly enjoy the amazing biodiversity of the country: 1,600 species of birds, 1,000 species of fish, 680 of reptiles and amphibians, 230 of mammals, and more than 20,000 species of plants.
Enjoy your trip!
