Hola from internet intermittent land. This may be difficult.... I forgot to bring a few things- someone who knows Spanish, someone who can fix my technical issues and someone who has a PCR test kit in their back pocket. Having difficulty uploading any pictures.
Actually, the good news is that, as I have not quite figured out my new camera, there are hardly photos worth uploading. Just to prove I am in Ecuador-
Well, that is Quito. Am heading into the Andes backcountry to do some hiking. I am sure the elevation won't be a problem as I have almost been able to get up to 2 flights of stairs in my Quito hotel without stopping. Quito is 9400' but Andes go up from there. They are just massive here. Maybe I will hire a lama.
