Hi Yáll,
I thought I´d add a quick second note today as I am not sure if I will have internet for the next couple of days.
My appointments for tomorrow was cancelled and I decided to take a short trip by myself out of Quito, in part to see how it goes and what I lean about taking such trips, and second to visit what I am told is a great location with lots to see and do.
I am going to a town about 2.5 hours west of Quito called Mindo. It is renown for its bird watching, butterflies and orchids. It sure sounds like a great place to take photos to me. I will catch a bus that leaves Quito at 8:00 AM tomorrow morning and get there about 10:30 and look for a place to stay. If I don´t find one I´ll come back on the 2:00 PM bus, but I cannot imagine there will be any trouble. The bus costs $2.50 each way. Places to stay run from $5- $16 per night. It is the middle of the week so the locals aren´t going to be there and it is not tourist season.
Mindo is about 5000 feet in elevation, so it wil be a little warmer than here. I plan to stay 2 nights and return Friday afternoon. On Saturday Chris and his uncle and I are going to another place called Pululua. That is just a one day trip. I have to read up on it so I can´t tell you much, but Chris says it is a great place and that is enough for me.
BIG DISCOVERY: I found some frozen dinners in a grocery store and picked up a couple. I am getting a little tired of eating out each night. So tonight I´ll stay home and have Stouffers frozen elbow maceroni and beef. Bon Appetite!!
I will probably be able to find an internet cafe in Mindo, but just in case I have a problem I wanted you to know I didn´t fall into a volcano or something.
Love,
Glenn+
