Ecuador

We’re currently in Banos, Ecuador, where we’re spending three weeks, and we love it here. Banos itself is small and charming, a beautiful little town tucked into the Andes mountains. We are living and volunteering at Arte del Mundo, an organization that promotes literacy and the arts to the children of Banos.

Part three of our time spent in Ecuador’s amazing Galapagos Islands.

Brian and I didn’t plan to visit the Galapagos but everyone we spoke with in Ecuador, especially Ecuadorians themselves, encouraged us to go. Part 1 of our fabulous time in the islands.

I am writing from our hostel in Quito, Ecuador! It took us thirty-two hours to get here, including a night of sleeping in the Lima airport, but our flights were smooth, our backpacks made it, and no one questioned our one-way tickets though technically one is not supposed to enter Ecuador without proof of onward travel.
